Electrical problems with Chief
I have a 1947 Chief and I have an electrical problem that has me stumped. The bike has a volkswagen generator and Bosch regulator. The bike is 6 volts. One day the bike wouldn't start checked the battery and it was showing 4.5 v and wouldn't charge. Replaced battery and bike ran fine for a limited time and then wouldn't start. Checked the new battery and 4.6 v and wouldn't charge battery ruined. Replaced battery and today rode with battery fully charged rode 7 miles bike died. Checked battery .17v and battery ruined. I had checked the generator at idle and showed 7.4v charging. Same at battery. Would when riding the generator be sucking power? Any idea's or suggestions????? THANKS TCHIEF
