VOLTAGE REGULATOR INSPECTION

A faulty voltage regulator is often responsible for
frequent burned bulbs.

TESTING PROCEDURE

The regulator ground must be checked to ensure
the circuit is complete. If necessary, connect a
good ground wire from the regulator to the en-
gine.

A) Quick Test Without Voltmeter

If a voltmeter is not available, a visual test can be
performed with satisfactory results.

Disconnect

all

lights and electric equipment.

While engine is running, disconnect and connect
regulator connector several times checking for a
spark.

A spark on regulator terminal indicates a good and
working regulator.

B) Voltmeter Test

NOTE:

Use a voltmeter able to read alternating

current (AC). For accurate reading, use a RMS
voltmeter.

Connect a wire of the voltmeter to a YELLOW/BLACK
wire.

Connect the other wire of the voltmeter to a YEL-
LOW wire.

Lift the rear of vehicle and support with a mechan-
ical stand.

Start the engine at an idle without opening the
throttle.

Slowly open the throttle and accelerate the en-
gine to increase the RPM.

If the meter reads over 15 volts, the regulator is
defective and must be replaced.

NOTE:

Whatever the voltmeter type used (peak

voltage or RMS) the voltage must not exceed 15
V (a defective regulator will allow voltage to ex-
ceed 15 V as engine RPM is increased).

◆

WARNING

Ensure the track is free of particles which
might be thrown out while track is rotating.
Keep hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of
track. Ensure no-one is standing in close
proximity to the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not increase the RPM so the voltage ex-
ceeds 15 V as the bulb(s) will burn.
