Voltage Test
All Models
Proceed as follows:
– Start engine.
– Connect a multimeter to battery posts. Set mul-
timeter to Vdc scale.
– Bring engine to approximately 5500 RPM.
If multimeter reads over 15 volts, regulator is defec-
tive. Replace it.
NOTE:
If it is continually necessary to add distilled
water to the battery, this indicates an over voltage
situation, requiring replacement of the rectifier/
regulator. If, on the other hand, the battery will not
stay charged, the problem can be any of the charg-
ing circuit components. If these all check good,
you would be accurate in assuming the problem
to be in the rectifier/regulator.
GTI and GTI LE Models
If there is no charging at the battery with the pre-
ceding voltage test, the following test can also be
performed.
Disconnect the connector housing of the rectifier/
regulator.
Using an appropriate terminal remover (Snap-on
TT600-4), remove the RED and BLACK wires from
the tab housing of the rectifier/regulator.
Reconnect the connector housing.
Connect the positive probe of a multimeter to the
RED wire and the negative probe to the BLACK wire.
Set multimeter to Vdc scale.
Start and rev engine to 3500 RPM. The obtained
value should be between 12 and 25 Vdc.
NOTE:
If the rectifier/regulator is within the specifi-
cation, either the MPEM or wiring harness between
the rectifier and battery is defective. If the rectifier/
regulator is out of specification and the battery charg-
ing coil (or stator) test good, the rectifier/regulator is
defective.

STATIC TEST: CONTINUITY
1. Disconnect the magneto wiring harness connec-
tor.
2. Install the 4-pin magneto harness adapter (P/N 295
000 131) to the magneto wiring harness. Leave
wiring harness side disconnected.
3. Check resistance between the YELLOW and
BLACK/YELLOW wires of the magneto harness
adapter. Refer to the following table.
NOTE:
A short circuit will read 0 ohm (or close to)
on ohmmeter.

2. Magneto harness adapter
3. YELLOW and BLACK/YELLOW wires
