Google can probably explain it better than myself, but the half wave is just that….only half of the AC wave is converted to DC. The other half is sent to ground, if I’m not mistaken. It’s an inefficient system, but cheap. I believe the charging coil is split between 5 windings, 3 are output thru the yellow wire, which is intended to power the headlight. The other two are sent to battery. I believe a full wave system sends all AC power from both sides of the wave to the battery and all electrics are run thru the battery. If I have all this incorrect, I apologize.

So from engine leads, the yellow is power, the white is a ground? you dont say what the white wire is for? Guessing engine white wire is the ground lead to rectifier that ends up connecting the green wire on headlight and black on tail light

The yellow wire and white wire both come from the charging coil. Only the green wire is ground. The yellow and white work in unison to create the power output.

@@MiniBikeMike im trying to wire my ssr 125 engine so the hwad lihht and tail light will work, i took out the 6 volt bulbs and put in 12 volt. Rather not have to use the rectifier with all this, was gonna run headlight blue/white wire to xonnect with yellow and T in the eed tail light wire also. Do i need to splice in the white lead into all this too?

@craighart4186 you need to use a voltage regulator. If not, the engine puts out so much voltage, you’ll constantly blow bulbs.

When you say it would go too your switch instead of your headlight do you mean the negative really need this video to include a switch I’m so lost and I know it’s easy

In the video, the headlight is hooked directly to the yellow wire and the headlight can not be turned off, when the engine is running. If you want the ability to turn the headlight off, install a toggle switch between the yellow wire and the headlight.

@@MiniBikeMike I have a toggle switch with the yellow running too my switch negative ,and the positive for the switch running too the positive on the light and the negative of the light as a ground not sure if I grounded it properly or if I missed something because I had it working then when I went to drive the bike in my yard the lights got bright then cut maybe something came loose I’ll have to check tommorow but I’m wondering if I did something wrong as I ended up not having to use the green or red on the regulator and just the yellow and white hooked up and I made the yellow so it goes to the bike yellow and then added a wire that runs to the negative of the switch I’m using for on off for lights also my bike has no battery in my setup got *update I got it working your video deff helped turns out I had a ground going properly but I dident hook it up too my green wire so when I had it all grounded properly my light dident burn out this time lol

Why is my light still flickering?

@MiniBikeMike

Ай бұрын

If you wired light as shown in video, there is no battery. Without a battery supplying a constant voltage, the light will always flicker, due to the stators random voltage output.

@MiniBikeMike

I guess if it were mine, the first thing I’d do is pull the spark plug and check for compression. If that’s good, I’d dribble some fuel in spark plug hole, reinstall plug and see if it fires. If it does, you have a fuel delivery problem. If it doesn’t, about the only thing left to check would be timing.

Probably need to add a rectifier. The bike puts out AC power, and your light most likely needs DC power.
