[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481390, member: 22613"] I had one of those CDI regulators, even though it was recommended for my engine, it was totally different than the factory one. I was never able to get it to work right on the engine, I ended up moving it out of the cowl and into the bilge area on it's own heatsink, worked well after that. You can check the battery charging coil output with a multimeter, however it can not over charge. Usually when those regulators burn up, it is because of a bad battery, or a poor connection to a good battery. [/QUOTE]
