    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

No I don't think that can all be caused by the r/r. Likely you have a carburetor issue, and perhaps an ignition issue as well. I'd start by rebuilding the carbs.

Yes, this can be the reason it backfires & runs poorly. The stock GS coils are weak at best & with low battery voltage it only magnifies the problem. Check the stator output first though as IT may be the problem instead of the rectifier. Ray.
 
LOL! From his previous posts it looks like Rapidray knows way more about these things than me, take his word for it over mine! 8-[
 
Before you go anywhere else on this, charge the battery overnight, with a trickle-charger.

Your discharged battery will encourage false meter readings.

Once that is done, you can do the full checks on the system.

What he said! I was assuming you would have already charged the battery. Ray.
