500K2 Electrical Connection Blocks

(1/6) > >>

philward:
Just dummy fitting new harness and having a mental block on the electrical connection blocks on the mounting bracket under the LH side panel.
Top connection is from the loom, middle from alternator/nuetral/oil presure sub loom - but what goes into the bottom connection block?

philward:
Sorted and mental block dislodged! Obviously rectifier but god knows where it is - remember testing it and repainting

philward:
I can't seem to locate the rectifier off the 500 (I refurbed and bagged up all the electrical components about 4 months ago - I am sure I remember repainting and cleaning the wires on the rectifier but can't find it now). I've got a spare from the 750 that I am sure I had to change because of a charging issue on the k6 cafe racer I built.
So I've tried to test it using the diode setting on my multimeter.
I'm testing across the green to each yellow lead with black multimeter lead on green and red lead on each yellow wire on rectifier connection block - I'm getting a reading of '592' on each yellow and if I reverse the multimeter leads, I get the same reading. This doesn't seem right getting the same readings!
Am I testing it correctly?

Also check the fuse wire, it looks to me to be showing signs of melting in the past.

Not sure what you mean about round pin on K0 Kens? Mine's a K2. Will check the fuse wire

Bryanj:
Ken only the early K0 had the round pin blocks.
