OK, Dan, looking at the colored version of the chart here on the forum (instead of the one in my book which is black and white) I see where you are going with this and where I made my mistake. But I still have to ask, what about the black wire coming off the regulator which goes to the fan, starter switch and ignition switch? How does that get power? Would it be spliced in the battery wire?dan filipi":3f678ko2 said:

The black get's it's power from the ignition switch in the on position.
Red comes from the main fuse, to the ignition switch.
Ignition on makes the black hot which feeds the fuse block, fan motor, starter switch etc.
The black may also excite the stator not sure but the new version R/R would do that too if needed.

Today I think I have all the issues taken care of on my bike. I did order and install the mosfet rectifier from https://www.roadstercycle.com and it is working perfectly. The voltage output at 3k rpm is 14.56. I followed thier wiring diagram and everything is working fine. :grin:

I don't know what it was with the old rectifier but yes it seems to be working well. I am still using my original battery with no issues yet. It is holding a chage at 12.7 volts so i think it may be ok. Time will tell.

Good luck with your recti mod. Your daughters ax sounds nice. It's great Fender is making quality instruments for a resonable price these days. I love those Tele Thinlines. I'll have to get one someday. My family got me a nice ukelele for my Bday this year. I'am having a lot of fun with it. :music2:
