Dirtboy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Ok guys here's one for any Chinese quad owners !!! Me and a shooting mate have happened upon a beat up old dog of a chinese quad for very very little money - there is a reason it was co cheap I here you cry. Here is the full spec as we know : 2 wd, chinese, unknown make, unknown model, water cooled 200 cc! Long story short it has been stripped right down (what was left of it) and now sits with the motor in the frame which we can get to run and fire with some bodge job wiring. When we got it we were told that the regulator/rectifier was missing. We are now planning to get it running for purely off road so are looking at having : 2 x lights, 1 x cigarette lighter (for lamp and fags). As we have next to no loom for it we are planning to try and wire it up very simply ourselves to provide the above and get the electric start and battery charging to work. As we have no knowledge of auto electrics between us can anyone give us some guidance or point to some good web resources as my googling has just confused me!! Currently my understanding is that the two leads from the fly wheel are to connect to the regulator/rectifier yet where it goes from there is a chuffing mystery??? If anyone has any knowledge of quad wiring it would be very gretafully appreciated. Am I right in thinking that regulators/rectifiers are not model specific but cc specific ? Thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Get a old motorbike engine like 1000cc and use that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedwickedmotox Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello mate the magneto on the flywheel will put out a/c voltage so you will require a rectifier to convert to dc voltage connect ac to rectifier it will out put dc (you can get these from bike breakers)then connect output to a battery, then connect lamps via a fuse on the *** side and conncect your lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 9R Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 What Wicked said, or if the motor turns out to be duff go the bike motor route. If it's chain drive chuck a good 4 stroke bike lump in, if its shaft drive try to find a BMW bike lump and put that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
