Looks like your RR (or the connectors to it) is shot. What you were seeing previously was just the battery voltage and the values were around what you'd expect from that.

Quote from: "Marc"Thanks mg for your effort!

The battery is new: Yuasa YTX14-BS

I was indeed testing the black/red cable to the battery, because the other end to the RR showed no reading  -0.00   :oops:

I just did it again on the black/red cable to the RR, and again no reading at all.  Not with contact on, not with engine running 1200 to 4000, not with contact off... 0.00 on the meter  :?:

Just a thought, when testing the lead from the RR the meter should be set to DC volts.

Bit strange how the voltage readings are from too high to too low.
Should get reading when engine is running.

I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.

Yes, that's what I did.

I already did the rewire: I'll do another test tomorrow.

Well, after checking and cleaning the switch, the connectors, etc... and have done the 'rewire', these are the figures today:

- 12,67 V
- contact on: 12,24 V
- starting: drop to 10,60V
- idle dancing up and down 14,30 à 14,70 V
- revs op to 3000/4000rpm, no proportional increase.

BTW, the faster indicator flashing is cured....  (?) :roll:

Is this the end of the story :?:

This is more like I would expect to see.
There could have been more than 1 faults in the electrics and by the look of the figures the faults have been cured.

Well done.
