Electrical Help Please

One more question. Will my current flywheel work with the 760 stator? I looked up the 760 and if I’m looking at the one you’re talking about, it’s way different with the stator on the cover vs the cases. Could you provide a link to one? Thanks!

No, you need a 760 flywheel and stator, plus a CDI. They’re dirt cheap now because someone convinced everyone the 62T setup was somehow better. Still got me f***ed why anyone believed that, but anyway…

Makes total sense. Where is the best place to grab a 760 setup? Is it just a 760 stator and CDI I need to look for?

Stator , CDI , flywheel and front cover would all have to be replaced , none of the 760 stuff is compatible except for the coil .

Is that Negative Ground Wire connected to the Starter Ground Bolt or to the Bedplate? What is it connected to?

 

[WFO Speedracer]

That looks to be a Magneto cover bolt unless I am looking at it wrong , not the right place for a ground cable either way.

 

[orangefinger]

is that cover aluminum aftermarket ??

Dose it cook the stator and cdi when you are out riding or when you go to restart it?

Ground cable crimp at the battery looks less then ideal and looks like is going to a dasa flywheel cover. It should reach over and hook to the top 1of the starter mounting bolts.

Yeah you need to get that ground cable off the front cover lol.
Take it to the starter bolt where it can be bare metal to metal with the proper sized fastener.
You’re grounding your engine with a single m6 fastener that is naughty and Santa is for sure leaving coal in your stocking if you don’t change that.

Never had an issue with the nlp batteries and im not saying it can’t be the flywheel either but I’ve never seen it personally.
I can see it because of the way the parts are in the ebox pic but are all your grounds screwed down ?
Wouldn’t even bother troubleshooting until you had a nice new ground cable to the right spot on there things get crazy with improper grounding.

Ya, the Magneto must look like a 4th of July Fireworks show inside having most of the Current arcing thru the Stator, the Flywheel, the Cover, and then to the ill-placed Battery Ground.

Might have even blistered the Crank Ball Bearings

I don't even know where to start with that wiring , so much going on there that just isn't correct

My suggestion start with the simple stuff , new ground and power cables with the ground cable grounded to the starter bolt , ditch the nasty power lead with the fuse holder in it , start over wit that fuse holder and ditch all those funky connectors , the link below makes custom battery cables, their prices a good and their work is top notch , the second link has factory style connectors you can use or someone like me can supply you with a better fuse holder.

OUCH!! 100+ amps of starting current trying to ground through the stator area!!!
