Hi
I am a new member
Could anyone tell me how the alternator on an ajs 14s is wired. There is an orange wire which is still attached by a couple of strands but the light green wire and the white wire are both broken off. This bike was bought by me this year and I was told that the owner could not get a spark (I wonder why) There are quite a few other issues which I will need help with so stand by.

Hi there...this might help:

You should be able to do the check if you have a multimeter.
Otherwise I would say that the ORANGE is the High O/P...........The LIGHT GREEN is the Low O/P.......... and the WHITE is the Common.

Hi Les
Thank you for the response what you say will probably make sense to someone who knows about electrical issues but I am afraid it just baffles me. As far as I can see the orange wire is attached to a single wire then there is another single wire which I assume the green or white connects to and a connection which comes from each side of the alternator and joins together This I assume must be the one which the white wire (common) connects to would that be right?

Re: Alternator wiring
It's a three-phase alternator. There is no 'common' - all three wires go to the rectifier which produces direct current to charge the battery.
I'll dig out the Model 14 wiring diagram for you later today...

HI clanger9
I seem to be at cross purposes with everyone I already know where the three wires go to. The problem is that two of the wires (light green and white) are broken off at the alternator its these wires that i need to know where to solder them on to on the alternator

Re: Alternator wiring
I think i know what you mean, so here's some photos as i cant describe this well but you need to know what wire goes to what set of magnets.

Re: Alternator wiring
Ah, all clear now. Hadn't realised you were after the internal wiring!
The connections should form a "delta" winding, with each diagonally opposite set of coils wired in series.
Hope that makes sense - the pictures above give you a good idea of the arrangement.
