Battery failed me, so I put in a replacement. That battery only lasted a few days and the one I removed charged and was good. Used a voltmeter and sure enough, the charging system wasn't working. Before I bought the terramite, someone had replaced the kohler with a honda. As you can see, the wiring is a spaghetti mess.
So using a little reverse logic, I located the VR, similiar to the old one I had on a Goldwing. Then I followed the wires back to the plug. Saw the heat stress, cut the plug out and wired around it. The two burnt connections went back to flywheel, alternator coils. Now it charges as it should. But I discovered there was a 15 ma drain. Come to find out it was the VR. So I used a 40 amp fan relay I got off ebay. When key is off, power to relay is removed and VR is taken out of circuit. A simple $2 fix.
I purchased 6 40 amp 12v fan relays and the plug off ebay for $2 each. They were shipped from China. Took almost a month. It's hard to find one relay at the stores for that price. I use them all the time. Some complain they can't find a 40 amp toggle switch, so why not use a 40 amp relay controlled by a toggle switch? East fix.
