DIY Total loss or MSD TL upgrade box 270USD?

[waxhead]

I have never measured it. I do know however you can not use a gp800 flywheel on a 760 as it will not run. they are different in that situation but with a zeeltronic it doesn't care. Maybe the 760 one has only 7.60v

Yea I read through all the original posts on using a gp800 flywheel with a Zeel, so I knew that much. Its also why I ended up buying 2 of them. (One for TL) LOL

So assuming it really is only producing 8V, how would that be enough to charge a 12V battery? For that matter how is the OP even measuring the voltage produced by the flywheel, obviously that's not the running battery voltage.

The battery voltage is 12.6v running and resting. I measured the output from the voltage regulator to ground and got 8v at 3000ish rpm.
The stator measured 1.4ohms and output 2-4v A.C.

 

[Storbeck]

Did you measure it while hooked up to the battery? I vaguely recall having great confusion myself on something like this, and the voltage regulator does weird things when not hooked to the battery, and the difference in voltage for a running vs not running was much smaller than I expected (not just a steady 14 or so volts like I would expect from something automotive, it was only like .2-.3 volts difference between not running and running and charging).

 

[Do Dah]

I measured the voltage with it hooked up and unplugged. When it was plugged it it just read whatever the battery voltage was and with it unplugged it read 8v. I think you're right about it acting weird when it's unplugged. Maybe I can test the amperage between the voltage regulator and the battery?

@waxhead i was wondering if you could help me. I just put the Zeel in my 760(wax curve), after I shut it off I had like a shocking noise(sounded like static when you touch something and get shocked) coming from the spark plugs I believe. I unhooked the battery right away. I have the red wire wired into the red wire coming off the hot side of the relay(with the fuse in between). I have ngk br8es plugs with MSD boots.

 

[waxhead]

Sounds like the ignition was still triggering. I would check the wiring to the trigger and the trigger for being tight

 

[Callison62]

Thanks for the reply! I’m new to all this stuff. How would I check the trigger for being tight? Are you talking about the red wire? On the Zeel program I have the ‘Trigger mode’ box checked for “(+)and (-) signal”. @waxhead

 

[Callison62]

@waxhead i ran a 3amp in-line fuse to the hot side of the relay terminal to the red wire on the Zeel. Checked all my connections. Fired it up and then once I shut it off the static clicking noise still happens... I have a spotless ebox, no corrosion. I’m having a hard time figuring this out.

 

[Storbeck]

Post a pic of the wiring in your ebox.

If you unplug the zeel does the noise stop?

 

[Storbeck]

I can't think of anything that could make a "static clicking noise" other than the starter relay, possible something odd is going on that is causing the relay to click like when the battery is dead? Something off in how you tapped into positive power maybe (?)

@waxhead @Storbeck
I have a brand new battery as well. Reading 13.3v

Are the plugs sparking, causing the noise you hear...?

 

[Callison62]

@speedysprocket i pulled the plugs and no spark. I was told the MSD boots I have are non resistor boots... ordered some ngk resistor boots. I’ll report back Tuesday.

Time to Doo it up.

I ran 34 degrees into my 785 hx. Every one said you cant get them to come off the line like a 8mm stroker blaster. 34 degrees determined that was a lie.
By the way that static angle of 24 ?? really whats going on there

 

[waxhead]

Really if you want to be offended about something , Look at that static angle of 24 degrees. That offends me. How is any engine going to make power like that, S/A/M (static angles matter) people. Dont just think about yourself hahaha

 

[Storbeck]

I think that might actually be the default setting if you don't get the "GP760" version (?) I have one that I got for a kawasaki and I think that might have been what was in there.

I'm pretty sure you can't run 24 degrees of advance with a 24 degree static angle, but I'm not 100% on that.

I think your right. I think its about a 1 degree depending on rpm of course lag in the electronics

I wish there was a place on here where we could upload files so we can build a bank up of curves
