65 Sporty Generator wiring with no battery

[61pan]

Looking how to hook up regulator with no battery. Old regulator was fried not sure it was wired right. Bought a new regulator and don't want to hool it up until I'm sure of the wiring connections.

What kind of regulator, Bosch or Delco?

crap, i know this from triumph days.  am old and suffering from CRS.
zenor diode comes to mind.  have to turn elect energy unsed into heat energy.  has to go somewhere.
let me think and maybe look into my old notes.  thinking you need more than just a regulator.  well, unless it has a way to shunt to ground all unsed stuff..

I checked and it is a Delco Generator.

I need to know what kind of regulator you are using with this generator.

The Voltage Regulator I picked up is a Accel Bosch type has 4 connections on it. This is also the type that was taken off due to burned points.

Your Bosch  Regulator should be wired like this: Hot lead from Ignition/Light Switch to terminal B+, Dummy Light wire to terminal 61(if you use it), DF terminal to F terminal of Generator, and D+ to A terminal of Generator. You'll need to polarize your generator after hooking this all up, without a battery on the bike you'll need to hook up either a battery or use a trickle charger, by hooking the Positive terminal to terminal B+ of Bosch and Negative to the frame. Momentarily tap a length of wire from B+ to 61 terminals(D+ and 61 terminals are on same bar) of Bosch, then disconnect battery or charger.

61 Pan- Can you do me a favor? Is this bike you're talking about an XLCH? I need the length and width dimensions of the spacers between the brake light switch and primary cover. I put up a post asking for the info but haven't got one answer yet. If you can hook me up, I'd appreciate it.
