Verno,
I have a number of queries that I'd like you to respond so we can assist in finding your problem.
When you say the battery won't hold a charge, how do you determine this (eg measuring voltage over time?, in the bike or on the bench?)
Did you put a new battery in, and bench charge it before it went in the bike? What type?
Do you own a multimeter, or can you get you hands on one? If so, please do a quick test with battery out - with meter on resistance ranges (ohms), every switch on the bike turned off, and working from highest to lowest ohms range, measure between the connectors that would connect to the battery if it was there. This is not the battery itself, but a test of the wiring. Once measured one way, swap the meter probes between cables and measure again - let me know the results.
How many wires coming out of the casing where the alternator stator fits - 2 or 3?
If you charge the battery on the bench, and then put it in the bike, do you get sparks when you connect it back up to the wiring (with everything turned off of course)?
What's your engine number?
Anything special added to the bike (electrics) besides the Boyer? Like a rectifier/regulator?
What configuration of coils are you running with the Boyer? 2 x 12v, 2 x 6V, or a double-ended 12V?
Please email or PM me your email address, and I'll send you a document that may help with electricals.
