Smoken hot wire


Recommended Posts

that is the wire from the stator to the voltage regulator. Possible there was some corrosion on the connectors that increased the resistance and  that caused the current to get too night and  melt the wire. Most likely you will need to replace the wire and connectors.

Rick is spot on, that is the the connector between the stator and regulator rectifier.  I had the same issue you are describing last year.  IMHO the connector just isn’t designed well enough to handle the current, as well it’s in an especially vulnerable spot to accumulate corrosion.  I cut the connector off and soldered the wires together.  Haven’t had an issue since, connection barely gets warm now.  Remember to put your shrink sleeving on first :) .  I’m pretty positive I did a lap & wrap joint.
