1BigDog Posted October 10, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2008 Im sure glad I dont work on piece work basis, or id be a poor miserable B*****d...... Anyway, finally got the rectifier wired back up. All sealed, heat shrunk, soldered and best of all, charging like theres no tomorrow. It was a royal PIA but well worth the time in the end. I know I drove some of you nuts with my phone calls. Thanks for the help. I'll go away now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which rectifier did you used Jeff? was it the new one that you got from Flatout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BigDog Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted October 11, 2008 Which rectifier did you used Jeff? was it the new one that you got from Flatout Yes it was. I wasnt about to trust the old rectifier so I tossed it. Cheap peace of mind at $48.00. As far as future fixes go, Im going to try and put together a tech article on the stator change. The rectifier mod will be included but pics for it are minimal. I was more interested in finishing it than snapping pics. I did learn a lot from this project and its not for the faint of heart. You do need some mechanical skills and a lot of patience along with some common sense so when things start to get messy you know its time to walk away from it for a while and come back with fresh eyes.

Well, good news! Now that you have solved that... I'm wiring my woodworking shop: My service entrance cable to the circuit breaker panel has two hot leads, a neutral, and a ground. My machines are 3-wire 240 (white/black/green), single phase, 20 amps. The current house 240 circuit breakers are wired red and black hot, white to neutral, and bare copper to ground. I'm using 10-2 romex (just like I had it wired in Middleburg); do I paint the white lead red to match this modern wiring? Do the electrons care? Just kidding, Jeff. Congrats on getting your steed back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
