I will forward you a very simple circuit that you can build to test out if the alternator is still workig. It is simply a light bulb and a diode, list like the circuit used in a car to show when the charging system is not working. If it is working you simply find a wire in the harness that is live when the key is in the on position and off when the switch is off. If you really need to, you can run a wire from the battery directally to the alternator, i think it is labeled B but i am not sure on this. This will energise the rotor and if the alternator is still working it will charge the battery, BUT if you leave this connected when not in use it will flatten the battery. Just use this to test it, as it will make your carbon brushes wear out faster. I have to run off to work now, i will do my best to draw up that diagram for you when i get home.</p></blockquote><p></p>
