Voltage regulator??? By lennie11b (Read 8,762 times)

SO this is what this rookie is thinking since the R/R does not hook to the battery that means it gets its power from the stator to convert it into dc and the red that goes form the R/R turns into brown to my lights so what do the experts think

[lennie11b]

This is what i see on my scoot its weird has to be wrong -

1. main positive cable from battery goes down to a relay

2. another red cable goes from the relay to the stator

3. R/R has nothing going to the battery WHY?

4. Relays do not convert ACV's to DCV's DO THEY?

5. SO what i think is my stator is trying to feed my battery stright ACV's. Thats why my battery is not charging.

The relay looks like this .monsterscooterparts.com/re50hostscen1.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.monsterscooterparts.com/re50hostscen1.html

The wire colors are Red/yellow & Yellow/Green

Thoughts Please

1 is correct that is the starter relay/solenoid .
2 is incorrect it goes to the starter (should be the same size wire as the battery cable)
3 incorrect , when everything is plugged in you should have a connection from the red on the regulator wire to the positive battery cable unless the fuse is blown .
4 relays are electro mechanical switches . no ac/dc conversion .
5 see #2 the relay that the battery cable goes to is a electro mechanical switch , that switches power to the starter when you hold the brake and hit the start button (I always keep a tested spare) .

If you want to see a pic of the stator wires from the engine ask .

ok yeah i see where i was wrong on the starter thanks for the eye opener. so shoud i splice a wire in the red R/R wire and run it to the battery? thanks for the help learning alot here
