These are the bees knees . As long as you can find them ! Every workshop needs them along with roll pin punches. Which is what I thought was in that particular drawer !

I need to see if my red frame has one or not and then I will commit

Let me study my wiring diagram(s) and see what to test and the test sequence . This bike is a red frame and you did get the correct regulator ? One diagram shows 5 wires going into the regulator connector with a separate ground wire going to the regulator case. The other style shows 6 wires going into the wiring connector(s). The regulator w/5 wires has the output going straight to the charge light and the harness w/6 wires goes all over the place before going to the charge light. The fact the charge light works means this circuit is intact. Have you installed a regular headlamp bulb to make sure this circuit has the same resistance as it should?

You are almost there. I went out to look for the SnapOn bag they are in and found pin punches and everything else instead. I was gonna post the part # but can't find it. Any GOOD tool store can hook you up with these. They go into the bore of the hole and you can center the punch prick. That is why you will use the L.H. drill bit. It will snag the broken part and spin it out. Remember this when you do this for someone else. You can get paid for your skills. Remember , the family stays in the waiting room while you are operating. No need to bother them with how difficult it was/wasn't to do.

If you still have a Roper Plate , I am interested .

I have these punches ($napOn) that fit in the bore of the hole to locate the center and a punch tip to hit in the center of what you want to drill. They locate the center and drill away , left handed naturally and it will snag the broken bolt and spin it out.

Does the charge light come on KOEO ? key on engine off

Press, I think you have got me figured out.

Ahhhh , you just don't know what all I have f'd up all through the years... Now , for your situation. Did you break it when you were tightening the valve cover ? if so , you will have no problem removing it. When you retighten these they will take about the same torque as a Phillips screw.

IDK how old you are but this will not be the last one.......Get used to it and start trying.

Post a pic and we will discuss it .

If you can purchase a lh drill bit you can use a centerpunch to get the center of the broken bolt. then use the lh drill bit to snag the bolt and spin it out.

26v at the battery ? Heii yeah that's too much ! that light gives you an undercharge or overcharge status. When you call to inform them of the bad regulator be sure to give them these V #s. Don't ride this until you get this fixed.

I found my (Kiwi_Roy's) notes on this and it did not give values at 3 or 4 different RPMs. They must be in the service manual. I know these V output readings were checked w/the wires disconnected from the two wires coming out of the engine front cover. This is a single phase rotor so it has two wires only to worry with. I think the max V output was a crazy # like 80v ? You do not want to rule out a bad battery , poor connection(s) or bad ground from the regulator to the engine or frame. This seems unusual but don't rule out audiomick's advice about alt. brush bounce. It happens more than you think. I will get up early and try to find the alt. output v. at different RPMs. The alt light comes on when there is a difference in V on the two sides of the wires of the bulb. If it is overcharging or undercharging .

I will have to look back through my stash and see about the V output at different RPMs. The MG manual (I think) gives these V output at specific RPMs. You say the light comes on at 4k RPM? Does the light go off when the RPMs drop?

Because it is understood.

What part is this ?

You and everyone else that owns a V11 & a Christmas tree.

Using the fuse circuit that blows , look at all wiring that branches from this fuse.

To be sure , you did or did not apply the blue electrical tape to the wiring harness? My understanding was that you did.

When you get proficient w/wiring diagrams , you will not try to do anything w/o one.

Does your bike have a wiring diagram or can you locate a wiring diagram ? You do need to decide which fuse is blowing and what it services. Then go and research what is causing the problem area. A box of fuses and start looking! Good luck.

As for now , we know nothing more than you. And I'm not being a smartass.

At first glance , I thought it was Gregory House

And there's nothin" you can do.
