hello all I just recently got a clean 1987 230s and I am wanting to install a battery and some new lights what I was wondering was which wire can I use for a charge wire.. And are these macines ac or dc on the lighting coil? any help would be great as it has now lights right now and no light switch....

thanks

hmmm, not sure if you could add a battery on one of these seeing as its not really made to charge a battery.......just a guess tho

 

I am not sure either but I usaualy build sleds and if a customer wants me to add electric start to a non elec start machine i just tap the lighting coil wire and use a polaris rectifier regulator combo off a older polaris util. quad. Then just run a wire from the rectifier to the battery..

thanks

the lighting coil int these quads wont take much abuse. after 20+ years the integrity of the coil degrades. i would tap into it unless you arent planning on running lights.
