[QUOTE="Carlo C., post: 205450, member: 5835"] Guy's So after doing a lot of reading (Thanks kirrbby) and research I think that just have a bad regulator/rectifier. I have to remove the engine to change it, but I have a new one to try. I am very very picky about wiring and I even have a separate huge Snap on Tool Box at my shop just for wiring and wiring tools, so I was a little disappointed that my battery was not staying charged. I was second guessing everything I did when I built the Harness. Here is what I have come up with so far: I have a 125 Lifan with 2 yellow wire system. [ATTACH]77698[/ATTACH] According to everything I have read you are required to ground 1 Yellow wire and send the other to both AC inputs on reg/rec. This then turns the system into a single wire grounded system. [ATTACH]77699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]77700[/ATTACH] The reg/rec should then regulate the voltage for the headlight and other bulbs so that it does not send a over voltage and pop bulbs. (This is working correctly). The reg/rec should also rectify the AC voltage it to DC and trickle charge the battery. (This is not working) [ATTACH]77701[/ATTACH] So in my opinion I feel that since the single yellow wire is putting out voltage and that regulator side of the reg/rec is working that there is just a problem with the rectifier side of the unit. I just cant find anything else that would be a problem. This is exactly how my bike is wired with the exception of the electric starter [ATTACH]77702[/ATTACH] I guess sometime this week I will get it apart and swap the reg/rec and hopefully then it will work and keep my battery charged Carlo C.
