Hi Oggers I would really appreciate details of your oil gauge set up if you can reach the shed yet, thank you

Hi Oggers this is my thought exactly a preventetive measure as once I had an oilpipe split fortunate enough I was stopped at a road junction & lost grip went down on my Rs saved the tank and discovered the problem,
in retrospect maybe traction control is a bit "over engineering"
could you please post details of your oil pressure gauge set up ?

Hi mini me Yes I fully agree I have had sound advice on here & fully agree I have been a class A drama queen
maybe just maybe I will in future "R T F M"

I have now changed my new pattern ammeter for my old original unit and guess what I have a normal working main/dip/pilot system
when revved needle swings to + pos then on tickover fluctuates at 0 battery still reads 14.9 at the terminals when revved
so I relied on the pattern ammeter being 100%, looking forward to a ride out later (only 1 mile of course)

I disconnected the wires to the main/dip leaving just the pilot connected upon start up ammeter is reading + with slight fluctuation
I have changed the ammeter wiring to (correctly) brown/white & reg/rec to + terminal and brown/blue to - terminal
a quick ride and ammeter is reading just +
at the battery terminals I have 14.9 when revved
also left the pilot/rear lamp on for 1/2 hour and got a slight - on the ammeter ( a . 7 amp drop)
another quick blast and ammeter is on +
so I think charging system is all in order
I know my previous wiring was "unconventional" but it was the only way I could get main/dip to work
headlamp looks to be original 1968 item (sealed beam) is it possible I have a faulty headlamp somewhere in the unit
has anybody else ever experienced this situation ?
I am going to order a new h/lamp and see if this cures my lighting "strange phenomenon"

Hi at the moment this is how my ammeter is connected both brown/blue & brow/white are on the + terminal
the black wire from the reg/rec is connected to the - terminal
if I try to connect either the brown/ blue or the brown/white to the - neg terminal with the neg wire from the rec/reg
I just get the original problem of - 4 on main/dip
now with engine running with the above set up main/dip on or even no lights at all I get a constant +4 on the ammeter with slight
fluctuation on the needle
whilst riding the short distance today the needle still stays at + 4 all the time
I do understand I need the reg/rec wire to the ignition side of the ammeter to complete the charging circuit
but any other combination I try just gives me the - neg reading on the ammeter
I'm sure this reads as translated Welsh to all but this is my situation at the moment
also there are no other wires connected to the ammeter

here is my set up stator is a new Lucas single phase 120 watt
I have at the moment the brown/blue & brown/white to ammeter left
rec/reg black wire to ammeter left
I have just been down our lane (total mile) and the ammeter is reading +4 with fluctuation main/dip on or off
battery still reads 14.9 + when revved was on 12.3 volts before ride and 12.9 upon return
at the moment I am still a bit lost and always grateful for any input

Hi LAB thanks for the diagram the reason I got a new loom is because over 50+ years the original wiring had been "Modified " before I even got to it, almost all the wires were red or black when I first got it
so I will go and do more head scratching and post my findings

thought I had cracked it so am I to understand I'm getting a false reading on the ammeter ? I have 14.9 volts across the batt. terminals
ammeter is responding to engine revs just fluctuates on zero on tick over & to + when revved
do I need to re route one of the 2 loom wires to the ignition switch ?
PS glad I didn't cancel my acetylene lamp conversion kit just yet !

a EUREKA moment in the garage again re run the reg/rec neg wire to the ammeter this time connecting it to the left side terminal
with the brown/blue loom wire and the brown/white to the other ammeter terminal still showing -4 amp discharge
next I connect the brown/white & brown/blue wire to the left terminal & the neg from the rec/reg to the right terminal
ignition on ammeter shows 0 amps switch main/dip on and we have a slight drop on the ammeter less than 1 amp
start engine and the ammeter reads + 4 amps when revved
also getting a healthy 14.9 volts at the battery terminals when revved
t'would appear we have a result so a massive THANK YOU to you all chaterlea/ ianssoamy/LAB /TGR90B mark M/ R / REX
for taking the time to give your inputs I have certainly been "a bit lost" this last week once again thank you all very happy of Criccieth
