to start, because i cannot remember if i put this info in my sig-line, i have a 77 bonnie with solid state electrics: boyer digital ignition, solid state rectifier/regulator (i think it is a mighty max), which i've been running for years.
so, my stator cooked. it was old and i found the wires coming out of it had lost their insulation, so i thought that was the problem. i replaced it.
i checked the voltage at the battery at idle, 12.8 volts, and at about 4500 RPM's, 14.5 volts, and figured that was probably within spec. i rode away. it ran great.
about 8 miles later, it shut off. i could smell the stator was cooked again, smoke coming out of the primary breather hose. the fuse was burnt. i limped it home, and it died in the driveway. the smell of cooking stator was very strong.
i am not an electrical genius, so any help is appreciated.
