My cb750 scrambler build. Restart

That's what I said originally,  those 2 wires go to the coil in the middle of the alternator.   When the battery is low, a current is made to flow in that coil which then produces a magnetic field which makes the alternator churn out some more leccy (yellow wires).  Because it's the back - and - fore type leccy, the rectititifier turns it into one way type leccy that the battery likes.

Sorry about all the technical jargon.

Ohh. Is that the flow field part of the stator?

Thanks Mike, I'll go in with a bit more confidence now.

I like that explanation Mike.

Cheers me up in a gap from buying, fetching and planning stuff for Christmas. ;)

I don't think I'm in any danger of completing the list I've been given, there comes a point when you have to cut and run to the alcohol. I justify that as categorising it officially under tidying up. Well somebody's got to make a start on it.

Now where did I leave those "eat me" dates?

Venhill custom made cables. Loverly bit of kit.

With original wiring the plug goes in place of the rectifier and the two loose wires go to two out of the three regulator wires, the third one being an earth that is no longer used. The sense wire is an ignition switched live.
