Hi - I have a V7 Sport with the early 13A alternator. It has 5 wires (3 AC, 1 hot & 1 ground to rotor). All the rectifiers I find have the 6 wires (5 plus a "Y" wire to extra diodes). What is the "Y" wire for and can I use one of these rectifiers without connecting anything to the "Y" lug on the rectifier?
 
Hey NM,

Here's the way I did it:

The order of the 3 on the right is not important...

The connector on the left is vacant.

Hope this helps.

Al - Thanks for the picture, that helps. Does your rectifier have a connector lug on the end (left side in the picture) and is there a wire connected to it? Thanks!
 
No problemo!

That rectifier did have big red wires on the end:

here's a better shot from the "before" times:

Unfortunately I can't chase wires any longer on this one cause I took it all out and went to this:

Kinda pricey but it allowed me to have a charging system, remove the rectifier/regulator and all that wiring, get electronic igtnition, and preprogram ignition advance for dual plug heads. I like it.

Hope this helps,
Al
