I tested my stator using this video as a guide youtu.be/AZbg-krvZM4And I have 20v-60v(depends on rpm) AC coming from a stator, but it is still not charging, I have 5 wire voltage regulator which I belive is culprit for this How do I test that regulator? |

ac in, no dc out = bad regulator.

You should have at least 2 wires with AC current. Usually one is white and one is yellow.
one powers the headlight.....the other gets regulated to charge the battery.
This is assuming you have a standard 2 phase system. If you have a 3 phase system, there will be an additional wire from the stator.
If your headlight works, then there is a most likely a problem with the output on the charging circuit. This is totally independent of the regulator. You must get AC from both output wires. Then the regulator wil regulate BOTH the AC for the headlight AND the AC that gets rectified to DC to charge the battery. If you're only getting AC on the one headlight wire, you have another problem, possibly with the stator.

I think if you feed your headlight, and all the other 'marker' type lights, raw AC from the stator, you will soon be purchasing new bulbs for all. The unregulated voltage can be too much for the filaments and they get REAL bright, and then go very dim. It may be coincidence, but I think unregulated is too high an AC for the bulbs. I may be wrong.
