Tao Tao ata125F1 not charging Help please!
tried a new rectifier but still wont charge,it appears that the stator is working, here are some AC voltages(at high idle)
Yellow to white 8.5
yellow to green 12 to 30
white to green 10.6
not sure what all to check any help would be appreciated.its a 4 wire plug at rectifier.

Unsub, thanks for the reply, there is no doubt there has to be more than 12V to charge the battery, high 13s to low 14s, I guess I was hoping someone may be able to look at the voltages on the stator to see if these were in an acceptable range. there seems to be alot of rectifiers that look the same and are different on inside so wont work in all applications.

I would check to make sure that the ground on the regulator connector has good continuity to ground. Than test the resistance on the stator, yellow to white with the regulator unhooked. From the diagram I located it looks like it should be around 1.2 ohms. Also verify that you have good continuity from the regulator connector to the battery, the red wire.

When you testing voltage output across the yellow to white were you reading in ac volts? The voltage out of the stator will be in ac volts which the rectifier side of the regulator turns into direct current to charge the battery and run the electronics. I would test the output voltage with the regulator unhooked and with ac voltage as your setting on the multimeter and see what you get. Most information I have found states 9.5 volts ac is what you are looking for. This is lower than the D.C. Output of the regulator, but the capacitors in the regulator will step it up to what should be higher than battery voltage inside the regulator. If you are just a bit lower than that than you might be getting just not quite enough voltage to charge or maintain the battery.
