OMG! Whoever posted the diagrams, thank you! That is truly inspiring. Oh, I See it was LEO... GO LEO!
The 200X as anyone can now see does NOT have a rectifier AND the stator DIRECTLY hooks to the lights and voltage regulator. The regulator simply sends some of the volts to ground if its over say 14 volts to keep it constant. The stator is connected directly to the lights which makes it CLEARLY AC.... THANK YOU!
If you look at the 250ES you will see a voltage regulator rectifier... this converts ac to DC and regulates the amount.... thus the battery and electric start.....
Blown - was it on high beams or low beams? That could make A difference.... but Im not sure what the low beam output is. Did you check your voltage while you revved up the engine? If so, what did it go up to? Im curious now too... Hey - did you check the voltage with the headlight plugged in and on? That would show a big draw on the system and could definately lower the voltage you are seeing.... not giving you the actual output. If you did you could unplug the headlight completely and check the voltage at the connector.....
As far as the O-Scope... go ahead - I think that everyone could benefit from knowing the actual sine wave pattern....and cycles. If properly used you will find the AC Sine Wave at about 60Hz
Also Mr DB again... u know what? I wrote a whole paragraph about you, then realized you arent worth the words....Ill summarize it for you "*EDIT* OFF" and you have no idea what you are even talking about.....
