Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
Thanks davebike,so are you saying a 15 volt charge is still too high ?

14.5v max
Make sure your meter is up to snuff.

That's a new one on me DD.My parents used to sell it along with thick and thin chewing tobacco.
I'm assuming it means accurate.

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
Indeed it does.
As a Lancastrian myself we have a long history of snuff useage.
I do remember Skoal Bandits in the 1980's becoming popular with 'bikers' (motorcyclist still preferred a briar pipe with Scrottocksmold Shag' or similar stinky burning products).

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
Sorry Steve, but this has caught out far cleverer people than me and thee, but silicone is an absolute NO NO NO!stevew wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2017 1:44 pmHi John, Far from being an electrical guru i'm most likely a bit dense when it comes to electrics.
My hunch would be to try substitution with another similar R/R
But first i would clean all the corrosion off and cover the terminals with either silicone grease or Vaseline. Then check those voltages again.
I know this from my diving days, underwater camera tech. etc. The muppets would use silicon grease/spray on underwater connectors, its A BRILLIANT INSULATOR! Never, ever use it on electrical connections, although its ok on connector seals, just don't get it on the metal connectors!

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
ACF50 or Vaseline makes an excellent conducting lube.
I've tested a single dot of ACF on the end of a cable, it travelled 3" up the cable inside the insulation within a month.
Silicone grease around the plug cap rubber seals works well.

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
15 v is only a little too high but as It been higher and probably done dammage to the battery I would not be surprised if it was back to damaging voltage during a run when hot and the engine revving
look what an ecu cost andhow hard it is to get and ask yourself it it is worth the risk!

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
Thanks for the info lads.I will wait for the new rec/reg to arrive before using it.I did use Vaseline on the connector.

Re: WK GTR300 Scooter electrical problems
+1 for ACF50, good for penetrating and protecting stuff. I use it on handlebar lever Micro switches and get them working properly again.
