generator replaced wont start!
the bike ran like a beautiful thing... i installed a new Genny and now it just cranks but wont start... any ideas?????
i replaced the Genny because the light kept coming on and there has been lots of noise i tracked down to the Genny... i hoped i could kill two birds with one Genny (noise,light)..........

ok the bike starts fine now.... its just not the generator light stays on all the time....:?/
its not as noisy now... that's a plus...im just afraid its running off the battery ans sooner or later it will crap out...

Did you excite the fields? I had an old Sporty and ya need to do it so it will charge..
i found this on this forum .......is this right? take a long peace of wire and touch the (a) side of the generator and the other end touch the battery positive side for just a second do it two times you may see small spark this will put gen. in polarity...?
Correct..
This is uaually referred to as polarizing the generator. Needs to be done any time the gen is removed from the bike for service.

You do not need to disconnect the wires to polarize. The A terminal is the lower one closer to the front of the bike.
BTW, never do any electrical testing or electrical trouble shooting unless you know absolutely for certain that the battery is fully charged. Best is to use an automatic battery charger, max 2 amps [no more than 2 amps!]. Typically they are between .75 amps and 1.5 amps.
