How many wires go to that new alternator? I have A/C in the shop. Ship it here and I'll check it over the summer.  IF that diagram you posted is correct, you should be able to power up the 2 hot wires and ground the other and it should work. If it has 3 wires and the diagram is correct. Some...

One wire should have battery voltage all of the time. One should have battery voltage when the key is on. That wiring schematic shows the 3rd wire grounded. If the original charging system had an external regulator, make sure it is not hooked up.

Run a temporary wire from alternator frame to battery ground. That will answer that option. Cant hardly believe anti-sieze insulates that connection. E wire on regulator should show no or very little resistance to ground. Ground wire off maybe?

First of all, I don't care what anybody rides. I rode a Harley 40 years ago, That's just not me. And I never push another rider to their limits. I wear a helmet and protective clothing. Even at today's 86 degrees. Anyway, every so often it happens that I come up  behind one of the local...

Glad to hear it. And sorry you had the aggravation of it all. Some of our equipment requires a second program to completely erase some codes. Anyway, go ride with a smile after you talk to IVAN. 

You stated that it lost all charging. Died due to lack of battery power. You haven't said either way so I have to ask. Have you taken care of the charging issue? And have a fully charged battery? Your sensors and switches appear to be working, but you know for sure you had another issue...

One of the great things this forum offers. The willingness to help others. This procedure will work. However, I would like to emphasize a few points. He wrote This could be critical. A slip while holding 2 probes and turning switches could be bad.. High open circuit voltage with the engine...

Same situation here. My hiatus was caused by the purchase of a Dodge Challenger that is so much fun to drive. And moving.... Bought a new battery and checked the bike over completely. Went for a ride. Wow, what a machine. Been riding to work everyday since. 1 hour 15 minutes one way. I read a...

Loyalty to the old man and the repeat customers is the only reason 80% of us have stayed. And you are correct on lil" Skippy. Other than the moron it is a good place to work. Besides, collectively we outvote the ***. I have worked for 4 family owned businesses. I could return to any of them if...

Interesting....

Any Arctic Cat owners out there?

He's just an ***. Which means we will have a spirited conversation eventually. I don't do "can't". I will just remind them in advance and go. This is a small family operation that moves a hell of a lot of product. I doubt that there is a printed policy. I get along good with the old man. And he...

Kubota has had a good reputation for years. They are on the list. It is hard working in a toy shop for men........

Abortion or abomination are two words that come to mind. Along with Frankentrike.

50 weeks is not normal. It came up in conversation when he bitched about me taking off this year. My comment was "Brace yourself, I'm going next year too" At nine I discovered an old blower motor and a battery. Ran down every battery I could find. I was amazed that switching the wires made it...

Tried the search function to see if this was being discussed somewhere and no hits. What kind of UTV do you own and for what purpose? How reliable is it? The equipment dealer I work for carries 3 lines of UTV's. Cub Cadet (China) Cushman (A lot better made) and the new Hustler MDV is coming...

In their defense: It is the busiest equipment dealer I have ever seen. We are understaffed and really have no room for additional help anyway. The whole place is busting at the seems with product, parts, etc. I was hired to take care of the construction equipment part but I never know whats...

I will definitely agree to the second generation 3ffing up a good company. "Zilla, my dad is a retired toolmaker and I have seen several small job shops fail that way. On another note: I have worn a Moonshine Lunch Run shirt to work two days in a row. Not worried about a credit issue either...

Nice bike. Can't help but think it looks like a huge dent in the tank. But I'd thrash it a time or two if given the chance.

I'm thinking that in retirement with the projects I have now that I will be busier than a 3 legged cat in a litterbox anyway. Without any other projects. Right now I wanna ride...... But you do have a valid point. The lovely wife is good at coming up with things for me to do.
