Dinner time so I get to read the forum. :D
Traced it down today and removed donor wires from parts rig to try and correct some problems. I have to rev the engine to energise the
alt then it will charge. A mech bud of mine did that so it would shut off. Now I want to get the wiring right for Ouray...well and for myself. I have been in a spegetti wire mess for that past several hours but there is light at the end of the tunnal. Plus with this isolator it won't energise at all so another incentive exists.
Come to find out that this resistor wire is pretty important. The diagram shows it as a brown wire from the fire wall to the alt. but that's not the case. It's a red w/grn (it says "resistor wire do not cut" on it) wire spliced to the red w/wht at the ignition module, that wire stops at a splice and turns into 2 red and a brown (another resistance wire), one red goes to the coil and the other goes to the starter solenoid, the brown one goes to the starter.
A question: If I wanted to get a full 12v to my TFI coil would I have to replace the resitor wire with a regular type of wire?
It's a good thing that I was down in all those wires cuz I found that both of my heater hoses were cut so bad I don't understand why they weren't leaking. I replaced them just in time I think.
I have many other pix of the dual batt install bt since I will be at it until midnight I may not have time to post them until maybe tomorrow. Thanks for letting me talk your ears off. smile.gif
Updade: fixed my error, the resistor wire color is red w/grn instead of red w/wht.
