Guys, someone school me on this.
Have been riding around on my 61 FLH Panhead chopper and recently the motor died a few blocks from my house. Turned the headlight off and was able to start it and limp home. Being that the battery was a cheapo battery about 1.5 years old, I went to O'Reilly's and bought a new battery.
Was riding it tonight and on the short 40 minute ride home from the nearest city, lights became pretty much nonexistent on the last 1/2 of the journey home.
This is a chopper that a buddy and I built at my place, some of you may have seen it. It was his bike originally, now mine. One headlight, one LED taillight and obviously the two spark plugs are the only things requiring power in the system. It does have electronic ignition.
Forgive my ignorance, but my initial queries have made me think that I need to do one of 3 things. Polarize the generator, replace the generator, or replace the regulator.
Any advice on how to begin?
