3 - wire 10SI alternator wiring

[@jameslangford4748]

Thank you Mike ! I have a 66 Mustang and you just clarified for me what I need to do with an idiot light. I have an external regulator but the excite wire is my main concern and thanks to you, I understand what needs to be done and why.

[@iggybest1601]

The best video on the subject explains everything in detail. Thank you!

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@mikeb6431]

Great video Mike. Your knowledge of electrical components is amazing. 😁

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks Mike. I’m having a lot of fun with this van. I’ll be pulling and replacing the fuse block and wiring harness this week.

[@surenmadhan1490]

Thank you, such a simple explanation yet you covered all the basics and important technical bits. Great job, Thanks again.

[@tomference4618]

Thank you for the video. I will add that if you do not want to use a diode, you can get a good resolve by using an LED instead of an ordinary 194 bulb. This way you get your light, and assurance of no backfeed.

REALLY GOOD VIDEO SIR THANK YOU

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks.

[@thepowerflow1]

This is perfect i have a old boat that has problems with the old ignition warning coupled to a broken voltage regulator that i want to replace with a modern alternator. This gave me all the information i needed!

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@thepowerflow1 Hope it helps. Thanks for watching.

[@toledofirefighter]

Nice demonstration video.

[@JimBaldwin-x3t]

Good video explaining operation .

[@ignacioromero5014]

Good work Godd work!

[@scottmagyar]

Sir great video , Do you have a part number of Alternator, And guy with corvair parts for sale information, Thks

[@MiniBikeMike]

I don’t have a part number. I just went to parts store and told them I needed an alternator for a 1974 Chevy pickup. Send me an email and I’ll give you the guys phone number.

Great video

Thanks!

[@dlouque]

Great explanation, simple example. Great video thanks.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I add a hidden ignition switch to deter thieves, usually a foot switch under the dash : )

[@MiniBikeMike]

I often do the same. 👍🏻

[@cainbeeping8480]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Nice. I always and still do have a air cooled vehicle in the garage. 47 years i have owned a 65 vw beetle got from org owner. Stacks of repair bills since new. L 519 paint code 3 year only 64,65,66, Bahama blue. Factory sunroof. # matching car. I think i paid way to much back then. I paid $2200.00 😊

[@MiniBikeMike]

That’s awesome. I hope to have this one for a while.

[@alkennedy1124]

I ,use Chevy GM alternators on all of my trucks and tractors equipment, and I only use the nut post on the back, straight to the positive side of the battery, I have had on problems with my way ,for 30 years,, it as simple one wire charging system,on the planet. Ok thanks BigAl California.

[@3rd-eye-neenja563]

perfect! thanks Mike,, i didnt use a bulb though,, maybe that will help with parasitic battery discharge

[@mikelauer8352]

Hey Mike, I know your in the middle of the old smoky videos but I was wondering when you have time could you do a video on how to adjust the cam chain tensioner on a ct70? None I can find out there? Thanks

[@ricardogiampieri1408]

Buena y sencilla explicación!! Saludos desde Arg-

[@redtailhawk289]

GREAT VIDEO

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks.

[@TheSinny]

So if the little light doesn't come on when ignition is turned will that mean car wont start? Or just wont charge?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@TheSinny Probably not charging. Shouldn’t keep it from starting.

[@kpak2010]

good explaination

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@RalphCloud]

nicely explained

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@RalphCloud Thanks.

[@98crewcab1]

you must have been sued before. or someone jumped your shit because they screwed up. Half the video was about protecting yourself. I'm sorry for whatever you've been through to have so many disclaimers. great video none the less, thanks Mike.

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@98crewcab1 Nope. Just wanted to make sure everyone watching understands I have zero training as a mechanic and the video wasn’t a “how to”.

[@abcardenas35]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@user-tn1hk6zm2freedom]

Excellent!!!!!

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@user-tn1hk6zm2freedom Thanks.

[@luisaranda2463]

Mike, is it clockwise or counterclockwise?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@luisaranda2463 Alternator will operate in either direction. In most applications, they run clockwise.

[@robertdelinsky7247]

Just wondering do u sell some of the older parts for the ct70?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Sorry, no, I’m not in the parts business. I build so many bikes, I’m constantly on the hunt for used parts myself.

[@phoenixset6401]

You actualy confused me when you called the white wire the excite wire cz i think the excite wire is the red wire that excites the rotor coil to allow it to be in magnetic state.

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@phoenixset6401 Yeah, I’m not a mechanic. There’s a very good chance I called most of the parts by the wrong name or used incorrect terminology. Hopefully, you can follow the wiring part and get yours to work. It’s a year down the road and mine still works great.

[@phoenixset6401]

@@MiniBikeMike Thanks man.

[@russellnorton9940]

the number one wire goes to excite it, you did it backwards by putting number 2 there

[@MiniBikeMike]

🤣

[@Borulalboruf]

Wow

[@WiSeNhEiMeR-1369]

Thanks COOP ...

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks for watching!

[@dannypalmer7701]

Duh! Just show how to hook it up!

[@budledbetter7457]

No mr.mike that red wire in pig tail will go to battery DONT hook to the battery terminal on alternator ! WHY because that wire coming from battery to alternator is one way power you tell me how will power get back to battery to charge it if it's only going back into alternator !!! BEEN THERE IT WONT CHARGE BATTERY YOUR WAY SIR!

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’ve wired this way on about half dozen vehicles and each one charged properly. I’ll keep it the way it is.

[@davidliste5961]

Great video Mike. Thanks

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@davidliste5961 Thanks!

[@JimBaldwin-x3t]

You sir are clueless! The red wire from 2 always goes to the battery connection on the alternator. Ask anyone.

[@MiniBikeMike]

@user-cg9ly4wg2s I’m OK with being clueless. I’ve wired many, many alternators exactly as I show in the video and they all charge and work perfect. I have no reason to ask anyone, my method was taught to me by a master auto electrician/alternator rebuilder nearly 30 years ago.

[@sasquachbigfoot9070]

If this doesn't work I'm going to sue you.

[@MiniBikeMike]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dannypalmer7701]

Duh! Talk too long! Just show how!

[@MiniBikeMike]

The goal of the video isn’t to show how something is done. The goal is to make money thru KZbin. The longer the video, the more opportunities for advertisers to jump in.

[@dannypalmer7701]

Just do it.

[@Charles-Two]

Thank you. This was very helpful! Uh, I mean entertaining!
