Charging problem, F2

<< < (2/2)

K2-K6:
Presume you've got the sprocket cover off? As that holds the wires from alt out of the way when installed.

The other cover, between sprocket and alternator, is the same deal as the alt cover really. It'll dribble a bit with residual oil in there but nothing significant.

The alt wires in effect go round behind this cover as the top left of it is in effect a cosmetic part to tidy the appearance and to cover those wires, but you've got to remove it from memory to get the wires out and free to completely remove the alternator assembly.

Brilliant, thanks K2-K6, that's the information that I was trying to get to but I don't think that I articulated my question very well.
I'm hoping theres a duff connection or a broken wire as the field coils are 320 euros on CMSL.

Update, taking the cover off that the gear lever shaft runs through and then the sprocket cover let me get to the connectors for the field coil, thankfully there was no problem there, I got good continuity between the two leads, not sure why I wasn't getting that before at the plug where these and the stator leads join the wiring harness because the plug terminals read ok too although, maybe I was doing something wrong. While I was in there I spotted a bare section on the oil pressure switch wire which I've now insulated with heat shrink, so that's pretty much all the charging electrics checked with good earths at all green wires.
 I've made a couple of paper gaskets for the covers and so now its a matter of slapping it all back together again and topping the oil up, [ about half a pint came out when I took the gearbox cover off ] re-routing the various bits of the harness to make it look tidier under the sidepanel and see if I've now got a charging battery.
Thanks very much to all who helped out with advice which was very much appreciated, I was thinking of selling the Honda this year once I had fettled the charging but I'm having second thoughts now and might sell the Triumph instead.
