"My original post was buried at the bottom of the page, so I started this new one.
Main problem, 18 volts at wot, occasional ignition cut-out, and tach not working.
Ok, so I did the test that Joe Reeves recommended in the previous post. I bypassed the regulator and connected the gray tach wire directly to the yellow/gray wire on the stator. This produced no movement in the tach. I then confirmed that there was a good connection from the motor to the tach. There was no measurable resistance in the wire. (good) I then bought a new tach, thinking that was the problem as suggested by Joe's test. The new tach doesn't budge when running. So whats next???? Are there any more test to perform before I start just throwing parts and money at the problem?
I inspected the stator and found that it is dripping the infamous black sticky substance off of 1 coil on the front side of the motor. Should I buy a new stator as well as a new regulator? If my thinking is correct, these are the only 2 components that could affect the tach operation as well as the high charge rate.
Your help is appreciated!!"
