  • My voltage regulator stopped regulating, so it’s time to swap it out for a new one!! And it’s actually the easiest job I’ve ever had to do on this bike so far haha.

    Good morning 🌅, Angel, nice simple job, you could of rapped a piece of wire or cord around cable that was removed from the regulator, so when you put the new wire/cable you tied it to the other piece of cable that you threaded through,, it will then make it easier to bring the new cable through, and yes it’s early in the morning I could not sleep, My hands are giving me very bad problems, Great to see you back home safe and sound and you’re putting Johne back in his place on the road, ❤from France

    Angel, I know it is too late now, but if you tie a piece of string to the old wire before you pull it out, the string can help fish the new wire into place. Save that one for next time!

    Yep, 14.2 V is right on the money !
    Great job... love your out-takes, Red.
    You really lucked out that the stator windings didn't get borked.
    Just a side note, that 5V dual USB power supply that I gave you has a secondary advantage... when it's "on" it shows the regulator voltage all the time. It's like having a multimeter plugged into the charging system all the time, so you can see early warning signs that you may have regulator problems.

      I have one of those USB power supplies on one of my bikes, I agree its great. I just changed my weak stator and regulator out in favor of a 3-phase system and that now that USB thing always reads 14.6. its wired into the trickle charge adapter which I don't need to use anymore :)

    14.2 is a little better than almost 18 volts! Hopefully this one will last you as many years as the stock one lasted.... Gotta say, the outtakes took this video to a whole 'nother level :)

  • @MrAmartin8
    @MrAmartin8 9 годин тому +2

    Not to be a naysayer but hopefully your stator didn't get over taxed at the voltage it was putting out . Even though it is bathed in oil it can over heat . So don't be surprised that it may be a problem later . Good to see someone that takes on the responsibility of owning an older Harley . Good video as usual ...

    Well done Angel! A sleeve over the wire from the voltage regulator to the circuit breaker (with shrink tube on each end) eliminates the possibility of the wire coating chafing and shorting out. A heat gun is a better choice for the shrink tubing...if available. If you're good at soldering...a superior way to attach the terminal at the circuit breaker. Hi to you, and yours! Peace. 😊

    Angel Ienjoy your videos, and while watching this one I wanted to tell you a trick that I learned working on Air raft wiring. Hind sight if you cut the wire off at the regulator and tied your new one to it, you could pull the terminal lug side and fished it through that way. Great job though.

    Good job Red. Just some useless information for you, on my Twin cam what you still think is the regulator plug is now the crankshaft speed sensor. And it is right in the way to get the oil filter out on my 2012 Electra Glide. There is the regulator, oil cooler with lines and the speed sensor all in the way. Only way to get the filter out is with a notched out oil filter socket. I notched out my own. Fun fun fun. Enjoy that EVO.

      @@brianvandever143 The wire didn't have an end on it, straight outta the box. There's no way to tell if it had been shortened slightly unless there is a listed length printed somewhere. It was meant for the customer to cut to length and have the included terminal installed. That would be the only way to see if the part worked, and again, electronics that get damaged by installation are undetectable in most cases, so parts makers won't take back "used" electronics. Even if Red left the wire full length, she would still have had to install the connector on the wire and install the regulator, so even your dealer would not have taken it back, since it was not re-sellable as new-in-box, since the next guy would have a terminal installed already.

    Tow truck.. Nikolai had a case with a tow truck: I went to the mountains by car to take a walk there. On the way back, my rear tire jammed. The regular jack when lifting the car turned out to be like a house of cards (the reliability of things of the 21st century ..), in addition to this, I could not unscrew the wheel (before this case, I had seasonal tires changed at the service, apparently the employee does not know how to use a pneumatic pistol). I found the phone numbers of several tow trucks, but the price was too high. I explained in detail to one of them what had happened and that I needed tools, everything he had, since I could repair everything myself.. Anyway, he arrived, and I told him, "Bring all the tools." And do you know what he brought? Pliers and one wrench, the size of which is absolutely useless. As a result, I called my father and my dad brought a car full of spare parts and tools, so that a complete overhaul could be done. Appreciate your loved ones, only they care about us❤.
