Title: Need help with electrical problem
Post by: martinhedges on September 01, 2021, 09:01:21 AM

Can someone confirm the voltages which they get on the input to the regulator / rectifier and also on the output to the battery and to the headlights?

The 2006 Agility 50 which I recently got to sort out for my son had all the bulbs in the headlight circuit blown.  I have replaced them and the capless side lights are fine but the headlight blew within maybe 30 seconds as did the main beam.  Havent put the tail light in yet.

When I disconnected the plug to the regulator and checked the voltage coming from the generator is was like 35V AC at tick over and went upwards from there when revved (up to 50+ volts).  The DC output to the battery is like 14V at tick over and to the light circuit is circa 14V AC at tick over, which rises when revved, so it seems this is getting too high and blowing the bulb.  Does this inout volktage from the generator sound correct and hence does the regulator sound like the problem?  Is it right that the headlights are running on AC?

Thanks

This off the internet search for Agility 50 wiring diagram.

Thanks but I really want to know the voltages I should be getting and whether AC or DC, as I am surprised that the lights are getting AC (that is the ignition live lights rather than the indicators and brake lights which are fed from the battery rather than the generator).

Every Kymco I've had was a DC model.  I've accidentally swapped the DC CDI module for an AC and immediately blown the main fuses.  I can't swear that all models are DC, though!

These AC voltages sound about right.
