xs400 new project help
I am having some issues. But first hello everyone...
My 1979 yamaha xs400 has given me quite the headache the pay few weeks. As follows:
1. My battery is fine but when I start the bike and ride it get to my destination shut it off I have to recharge or jump the battery to get it running again..
2. I took the stator off to check if it was burned but it's not. In doing so I lost about 3 quarts of oil out of the stator area. Is that normal?
3.my oil kinda smells like gas. Is that normal?
4. I believe after testing my voltage while reving the motor the voltage stays at around 13 volts, also when checking the voltage when shutting off and starting motor battery stays the same. Which leads me to believe that my bike is running solo on just the battery. Now I have to figure out what is wrong next is it my rectifier/regulator or is it my relay? Something isn't sending power back to the battery and is causing my headache. Can anyone assist me with ideas and/or solutions
