Okay that is what i thought, thanks for confirming my original idea. LOL this is what i really wanted to say but its rude and stupid, but its how i used to talk dunno why my parenthood sucked i guess. Yeah thanks man i will check tomorrow and report back my result, right now i dont know how this happened but i spent like 4+ hours on wiring this silly LED stoplight and that thing uses smallest possible wire similar to what used in 99c store headphones wired it and it only 2 barked somewhat. Guess i spend rest of the night re-doing that wiring I will just solder that junk together cuz wire i have is 18 gauge but shielding is too fat to fit into the connector maybe it was shorting. Man i have no food home no money in bank and i am dragging this silly optional upgrade for almost week because i wake up 4pm and its already dark and cold outside. Super annoying i need a candy bar!
EDITED to remove curse words.

Redone the wiring thingy it works now! Unbelievable how long such a simple task takes in terms of time took me another 3 hours or so.
Also drained my battery trying to start with the frigging stator harness disconnected... now charging it up and will test the total draw and charging voltage afterwards.

Measured today disconnecting negative lead of the battery and checking Amps it shows
Rear light 1A / 12W
Rear brake light + turn signal 3A / 36W
However it does not take into account
- Headlight (1.25A / 15W)
- Electric Choke (0.4A / 5W)
- Carb Heater (1.6A / 20W)
How do i measure actual alternator output?

This shows how much your entire system draws not how much your stator output.

It will show in both directions, charge and draw. If you want to just check output, remove the loads and battery from the picture..
You will need a "dummy" load(light bulb) of a known value as part of the circuit. If you go right to ground with no load, that will be a short and will ruin the regulator.
