A 3AJ to spruce up

The breather pipe connects to the right side of the airbox, it connects to the inner pipe.... the outer one is a drain valve thing, there's also one on the left side... to drain water off the airbox....

Not much happening here,been busy with everything else but 3AJ - took the bike to PeteJ to go over the wiring before start up. Way to many joins was the last words. ..got to clean it up he insisted-point taken . Bike starts and all lights and stuff was working except for popping main fuse a few times. I connected the regulator incorrectly by accident and we found no charge coming out- corrected by double checking pics taken b4- still no charge, Is the regulator fooked

tape taken off wiring

Solder and heat shrink is best way to fix broken wires, tape ok to wrap harness. Here in USA I only use Scotch 33+ tape. It is high quality and will not fail when it gets cold or hot. Not sure about other brands around the world. In the USA the Scotch 33+ costs about 5 dollars a roll. Not cheap but very well worth it.

I answered your regulator question in another post.

PeteJ been sorting the electrical problems by replacing the regulator with genuine Yamaha part and spend hours on replacing all wires back to standard/better than standard. A dipstick was also fabricated. All checked out with final test this weekend then we will refit the body parts and...
ever increasing pile of wire

80% into new harness

new dipstick

I found the wiring not too bad once you got all the tape wrap removed. Just check each individual wire and connection splice if any. Many wires have multiple "tap's" and can be a site of corrosion and breakage. Good show!

Thoughts on the latest here after wiring tidied up(ok it looks stunning) motor turning and spark plug just makes a single spark and then dead. Wired in a loan cdi unit to test- perfect spark. Verdict from those in the know- problem with cdi- have it checked out by resident electrician who could not find fault with the unit. His verdict is the source coil must be the problem- source coil tested and it measures around 50 volts which is very low. Got a loan unit to test and exchange- but still to get to that point. To many interruptions...
Any thoughts on the above

It sounds like you already found the problem, you said loaner cdi worked perfectly. Testing in the bike certainly is better than any test on a bench setup. 50 volts from the stator coil does not sound low to me. Please explain your logic here.

Steve-thks

for your interest-As per your above all went well with other cdi wired in. Had my cdi tested and all found ok-maybe i was fobbed off. Reason for thinking source coil was that it was mentioned it only pushes out around 50 volts on turning over motor the guys said it should be a lot higher like 200 plus( i'm really in the dark with this) The source coil load unit was from older xt and could not be used. As the loan cdi worked with source coil in bike it makes sense that my CDI's is at fault- Question- is it possible that low output souce coil could have any influence .

.or should i just source another cdi unit.

Prettys sure it wont be a off the shelf item- where can i buy if we have to go this route
