on my 1976 kz900, I can let it run all i want but if I turn the lights on or hit the brakes it will die.
I know the battery is old and shot, but it holds a charge to tinker atleast.
thing is, I want to sort out the draw on power from the battery before I get a new battery. Its like the charging system doesnt charge at all.
I havent been into the stator yet and I do have an oil leak coming out of the stator cover. Going to pull the cover today, make a new gasket for it, clean out the goo if any and whatever else I can think of doing to it in one day without money.
but for the charging system, where should i look first for a direct draw of power?
No blinkers, Maybe a direct short to the frame?
maybe a direct short to a wire in the headlight bucket? who knows?
Have to figure out why my test light isnt working, but going to dig into the bike a bit more today.
