Daniel,
The reg plug is an 8 or so pin connector at the external regulator that's on the guard at the rear of the standard battery position. A Hitachi reg has a bunch of wires coming out of it and ~3" from it there's a plug that's attached to the loom. Disconnect this plug and jumper the wires as i said in the previous post on the loom side plug (female side). regards Terry > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > ------=_NextPart_000_009F_01C1BE4A.26FC2280 > Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > Thanks Terry, what I'm still unsure of is the which is the external reg = > plug?
