Regulator unit

(1/3) > >>

fogrider:
My CB550f cooked its battery. Checked the voltage and stopped the engine when it got to 17v. Bought a new 4 wire reg/rec, exactly same as orig, still over volts. It seems what appears to be a reg/rec is only a rectifier, I've now found the regulator is separate.
David Silver show a combined unit (£70 odd + p+p )  and don't list that separate regulator. 

Question is- is there a modern 5 wire reg/rec that will do the job ?, there are some on ebay for less than £20 which are the same as some outfits are selling for £40 plus. Or would that result in some wiring complications ?

Your advice will be welcome to decide which way forward.

Regards all....

fogrider:
Finally cottoned on that the regulator is mechanical.  Looked good inside but both settings were out, re-set and will run her up tomorrow.   
Fingers crossed !

Bryanj:
You cant set the regulator cold and static, has to be warm and when running, usually done with a variable supply box

Could you clarify what you mean by that? Sorry for asking; my English is not sufficient.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's not your English I don't know what Bryan means either!
