Re: Voltage Regulator advice

" A: Your original regulator is points type?

no, it's electronic.  afaik moto alts always had electronic regs.

" Then likely one of the wires 
" between the regulator and alt are broken (whichever one is the battery 
" voltage) Had this happen on almost every Ford I've owned and many that had 
" charging system trouble (it was one of the 2 middle wires of the flat 4 that 
" always broke off) The electronic ones pop within minutes (sometimes seconds) 
" when wired that way (or never even kick in), but the points type overcharge 
" because they think battery voltage is too low.

the one wire i did trace - the yellow switched +12 - was hot at the
connector when it should be.
