wassell circuit diagram

[drivera]

On the old forum someone posted a schematic drawing of a Wassell regulator circuit using a capacitor instead of a Battery , anybody got it as I didn't get round to printing it off ?

Not on this thread is it Andy from scooterotica .

Hi Paul ta for that but it only shows battery circuits , somebody posted a wiring diagram showing a capacitor in the circuit of around 1600mf I think , which let you run without a battery , just wondered if anybody had it or if the person who posted it could put it on again

It's just a case of wiring the capacitor in place of the battery, the circuit diagram will be exactly the same. All a capacitor does is to store a small charge which it releases slowly in a similar way to a battery.

Cheers Coaster thought that might be the case , anybody know what size capacitor to use ?

That was me...



33000uF is good and cheap, but big enough to smooth it all out...

I have a spare in the garage.... PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post....

From the photo I've got two Browns going in to the horn and two other leads taped up . Any ideas any one!!

I can tell you the 2 browns are the 12V into the horn and back out to go up to the headset to feed the lights, or at least that's how it should be!
The white goes to the horn button- the horn sounds when the horn is connected to earth via the button.
As for the taped up stuff, time for a continuity test with the multimeter.
There's a wiring diagram that may help you here
