Replaced my stator coil and that went swimmingly. Here is my question, The outputs from ALL three yellow wires is 16.3v ? When revved the voltage at the battery goes up to 14.7 is this ok?

I take it the voltage on the yellow wires was at idle ?

typically the voltage would be over 50v at 4000rpm


And - YES - 14.7 is healthy charging voltage.

The voltage between all yellow wires should most importantly be the same and at about 3000rpm I would expect about 26v AC. There should be NO voltage between any of the yellow wires and earth with the reg/rec disconnected. The DC voltage across the battery will depend on revs and the charge state of the battery. 14.7v with all lights on above 2/3000 revs would probably be good. :-0)
