IT'S FIXED !!! Can I give a massive shout out to everyone who's offered advice on the non charging alternator! And a special thanks to Paul Compton for re-magnetising the rotor. Doug at Mdina Italia was endlessly helpful too and has to be first port of call for parts. The top fellas at Rex's speed s...

Hi Ming,
yes your right the Sachse regulator doesn't need the green and red so I isolated them. As the Sachse unit wasn't providing a charging voltage for the battery I reverted to the original regulator in an attempt to keep things simple . It didn't I'm afraid!
Thanks for your message- Layton.

Hi Mark, sorry for the delay replying to you , I've been away. I put the SACHSE regulator on with no change to the output. It only uses the yellow wires if I remember correctly. The red and green isolated. The regulators didn't seem to get hot and the headlight was switched off. I think you are righ...

Hi Mark, I hope you had time for a decent ride out. I had a week on Tenerife, hoping it would heal itself in my absence . Alas no! Lol! Rex's speed shop tested the resistance with no mention of running on a rig. They reported - Source coil 304 ohm. Charging 0.5 / 0.5 / 0.9. So far as I know that's f...

Hi everyone, Still no further on with the battery not charging. Rex's speed shop - Top fella! tested the stator and resistance was all good and didn't need work. He said he'd never seen a flywheel lose it's magnetism in 30 years, and to be fair it seems pretty strong to me. But a few of the posts ta...

Hi Mark , Thanks for your detailed instructions, I hope I've carried them out properly! I just revved to 6000rpm very briefly, the locals are sharpening they're pitch forks haha! Multimeter set to AC. Yellow 1 to yellow 2 = 2.7v Yellow 1 to red= 5.7v Yellow 2 to red 3.3v Yellow 1 to yellow 2 = 0.09 ...

Hi 3potjohn, Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I've just been outside annoying the neighbours lol! Red to battery+ amps = no response at the multimeter. Yellow to Yellow 2.1v Yellow 1 to red 4.5v Yellow 2 to red 2.5v White to earth 0.04ohm Yellow to Yellow resistance 0.90 mili ohms. ...

Hi folks, My name is Layton and I'm based in Darwen lancs. I'm a newbie to the site and in fact any site lol! I bought my first Morini about a month ago. A 1982 350 k2 Italian imported about 2000. It was a non runner with the alternator removed. The vendor believed it wasn't charging. The elderly ch...
