How can you fix an alternator that is overcharging?
If an automotive alternator (Question misses the assertion of where the alternator is, and what drives the alterntor), is deemed to be ‘overcharging’, then you need to look at all of the things that can cause a reduction in current.Since most automotive applications have the alternator bolted to the engine block, I would look at corrosion of the charging circuit back to the battery.This means the ground connection at the alternator, the ground strap to the frame, and the battery negative terminal to the frame as well.It means for an older (>4 years old) car, the atmospheric conditions can cause oxidation, and the regulator that controls the current into the battery can go out of tolerance.Another source of resistance, is the bolt that holds the regulator to the frame.If that is rusted, then the regulator can mis-interpret when to conduct and shunt excessivve voltage away from the battery.If it is a simpler car the regulator is a separate component, and is suspect. IF it is a car where the Engine Control Coomputer controls everything then somewhere, it is getting the wrong input and then reacting appropriately.
Is there any method to start a bike without having the key?
Step 1Locate the ignition wiring coming out of the handlebar area. There will three coloured wires bundled together in a wiring sleeve.Step 2Look along the wiring sleeve until you find the point where the three coloured wires end with a plastic wiring cap along the body of the bike. The cap will have another group of wires plugged into.Step 3Pull the caps apart and let the ignition wiring hang down. Hold onto the lower portion of wiring.Step 4Insert one end of the speaker wire into one of the eyes of cap socket. Bend the wire and insert the other end into another eye. If you don't see the light of the bike turn on along with the click of the engine, try inserting the wires in a different combination until you get results.Step 5Press the ignition button on the throttle to start the motorcycle engine.Warning.Never try this with a vehicle that you don't own or don't have permission.
Are Harley Davidson motorcycles reliable or unreliable?
It may seem like a dumb question to many of you, but I've heard greatly mixed reviews on HD bikes. Some people say they leak oil non-stop and always have trouble. Others claim that an HD will last forever as long as you take the time to conduct basic maintenance. So what is the truth about Harley Davidson? I'm looking for honest answers from people that have owned them. I'm not looking for some two word review without the experience to back up what you say - That especially goes for you, Bart S. In fact, don't even answer this question, Bart. If your bike is great, tell me. If it's had its problems, tell me. I want the truth, HD owners.
