Alright, I knew there were a few guys left out there that wrench on their own machines. I did not put the Rotor on with a impact. It was torqued down to 165lbs with a wrench and locktight. I checked out the entire charinging system with a multi-meter and everything is within specs. I am in the process on going thru the wiring harnass with the meter. I am going to post the out-come so if anyone else comes across this problem bizarre problem they have something to work with. This is a tough one!

sounds like you could have multible problems it may not be your charging system you may have already corrected the charging system problem fossil may be on to something you need to figure out what you are loosing below that certain rpm when it kills whether it is spark or fuel

That's a strange one, be careful tightening that choke, it's plastic and can't take much torque.

As the engine thumped I crossed my fingers and pressed the horn. the engined began to cut out, but this time out of the corner of my eye I saw the choke creep in. "You gotta be joking me". The vibration from the horn was causing the choke to release and of course was shutting down the cold engine. Mystery solved. There was two events happening at once. First the stator failed and the choke loosened up.

And once you get it all lined out and back together --- your going to apoligize to her,give her a nice bath and saddle up and ride proudly!!! lol Good to hear you are on the way back out to the road!!!
