Re: Size resistor for R27 LED charging light?
Sometime in the past, the D+ terminal had been cut off. I got the stator off the other R27 restoration and that one has five terminals, while this one with the cut-off D+ only has four.
So the blue wire connection was actually going on 1 which is connected to the terminal to the right.
Any ideas why someone would cut the fiberboard to remove a D+ terminal?

Re: Size resistor for R27 LED charging light?
I now have everything working including the charging...if that it charges so much it blew the bulb out after the bulb got REAL bright.and I know why.
The brown/black wire for the DF terminal needs a new home.
With the D+ missing now, they wired the positive brush to the DF terminal...which leaves the B/B wire hanging.
Thought I'd attach it to the blue wire..so nothing to limit the charging voltage..and blew the bulb.
Now to find a place for that final wire
Ideas...or does anyone have a good R27 stator for sale?

Re: Size resistor for R27 LED charging light?
Yes it is charging but the regulator is not working and cant limit the output voltage
I had the same problem with a broken D+ terminal but was able to repair mine
Its almost 10pm here and will post more tomorrow

I think tomorrow I'll take the D+ wire off the DF terminal and attach it directly to the blue wire,,then I'll have a home for the B/B wire on the DF. Then see if I blow another charging light bulb

Re: Size resistor for R27 LED charging light?
Now you have a good stator to view
So the end terminal on your stator with the blue or grey wire should go to F on the regulator
And the D+ brush should be connected to the small blue charge bulb wire and also D+ on the regulator

Have you solved the charging and generator red light issue ??

Which means this R27 got put on the side for a bit.
BUT..as soon as I finish the R67 electron failure tomorrow morning, the R27 goes back on the lift for a step-by-step look at every connection and the brushes..The solution has got to be something so simple and obvious ...that I just can't see it.
