Goodday mates...

I just finished assembling my 5k engine and there seems to be a charging prob...

I think that one of the wires that connects to the alternator is missing or something..managed to get the engine started but it's not charging

Hv tried to loop some wires to rectify the prob but failed...the batt meter also shows very low charging..

Need some help on how do i really rectify and fix the prob...

how can i diagnose the alternator to know whether thats the main prob (alternator) or the wiring..

If it is giving some charging, then its an alternator problem I'd say.

 

You need to put power into an alternator to make it work, so if you have the power wire suplying 12V, that is all the wiring needs to do. The alty has a set of diodes inside that turn the AC curret into DC current for the battery, and probably one of those has failed.

 

There are wiring diagrams in the topic about the 4K KE30 that won't start which has been up on here in the last week or two. Take a look at that.

Thank you very much fr you prompt reply mate....

I will try to find the wiring diagram that u mentioned and give it a try..
