Looking at your starting point on Page 1 Mick the term torturer seems mild - attempted murderer seems more fitting.
You have come a long way since November 2021 - it must be very rewarding to have ridden it at last.

had to do some gardening today, yuk I hate it, so not much time in garage. had a quick look at the alternator wires and seem ok but will check further. I also have an issue with the petrol tap dripping when turned off. I know this can be due to the sealing washers on the screws so ordered the genuine honda ones at great cost. as i remember they were a thick fibre or plastic, but the ones supplied now are normal looking fibre ones like you can buy for pennies. still leaked so used 2 per screw, still leaks. The carbs must be good as no leaks from then when tank mounted so will try again. I also chipped the tank taking it off, dammit.

Like Ted said, I just had a look back to page 1 pictures. Sorry Mick but I'm going to have to get you certified under the Mental Health Act. Jeez that was rough with a capital R. Well done mate.

had a couple of hours on the charging issue, wires seem to be ok so tried to test using the info in the manual. Getting inconsistent results using multimeter, I am not confident with amps and ohms etc so may be user error. Tried to check the rectifier with same inconsistency, quite often the reading is zero or jumps around a lot. I have another alternator but wires are also cut, i tested that one and results are equal between yellow wires so might try using that one. I am testing the voltage at the battery when running and assume it should rise to 13/14 volts when revved? It does not go up at all, what should I do next?

Check the rectifier/regulator.
