Does this sound normal and do I have any worries not getting 14.0-14.3 v back to the battery..??
I really don't have much of a load on the battery.. I'm currently running LED headlamp and rear turn signals other than that there's the electronic ignition so I'm really not drawing much current from the battery when running..
Will say I took a little 50 mile lap today and all is well..
What does it put out at 2500-3000 rpm? Based on Schex it might be correct for speced output.
One thing to note is that the battery reaches full charge faster at 14 to 14.5 volts..

Hopefully the battery ain't drawing any current while running.. Float voltages on AGM are are 13.2 to 13.6. It's nice to be about 1/2 volt above that while charging. If you can check the battery voltage the morning after and see what it is.. Deltran makes a nice little DVM that connects to the charging cable..

Said this wrong..

Hopefully no current is needed from the battery while running (except possibly idle) and some current is flowing into it (charging)..

You know I did catch that but my mind is so squirrelly later I wasn't sure how to take it.. Thanks for the update .

Might have found another reason why I kept losing ignition modules or cam position sensors down in the nose cone.. It turned out my rotor was out of round and was eating away at the hall effect pickups.. I was also evidence on the rotor where you can see it was rubbing.. Time for a new rotor.. The evidence is pretty clear as you can see in the pickup plate...

Hey Max I just wanted you to know that 2,500 RPM and above it's still 13.68.. I'm working with Cycle Electric, They said it should be a little bit higher but it's reduced because of the battery being in the oil bag.. But they did say that it should be a little bit higher because the 13.68 Is being measured at their wire connection to my 30 amp main.. I do have a couple other tests I'm going to do and we'll go from there other than that though the things starts like there's no issues, so we'll see what happens..

I ran into the deformed timing cup thing building up my sporty. Using a machined cup cured the problem and I haven't had any more issues with it. Originally bought mine from N@llin but Hammer has them now.

Its a one and done thing.

Just keep in mind that there are two timing cups,
one for carbs and one for MM, and they are not interchangeable.

Thanks man, it's a hell of a lot cheaper replacing the cup with a good solid one than it is replacing cam position sensors.. much appreciated...
On Another note dano.. yeah I know the difference between EFI and carburetor.. thank you .
