87twin350 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 In other news, I am back. I took a little break to do a few things, leave for a work trip and join an organization. Nothing really new to update; I got some black acorn style lug nuts. That's about it. As I said in my post above, today I worked with my DC Conversion and I am struggling. I floated my ground, routed my wire and connected it to my rectifier. I made a shitty temporary mount where the TORS box was mounted using a giant zip tie off of an H-60 tail rotor. I connected my negative (black, duh) wire to the switch harness's black wire and when I started the quad, I got a green LED from my rectifier. Then I hooked up my ground temporarily and spliced my positive DC wire into my yellow (positive?) lighting wire. I lost my LED and the lights didn't work. Can someone help me? I keep finding posts about DC converting with a battery. Everyone has been saying it's not necessary with LEDs, but nobody has done a write up or seems to even be able to give me some guidance.

87twin350 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 FINALLY figured out my DC conversion. Turns out I had some wires backwards because my regulator/rectifier had different color wires than every DC conversion write up on the forums. With that being said, I got a replacement LED pod for the one I burned up on AC. unfortunately they were a little different (?) so I just swapped the covers on the sides and installed the one. They work! I'll take a video at night sometime soon. So this is how she sits for now. I got some black acorn style lug nuts, and I still need to put the seat cover on, and I have a new chain on the way. That'll be it for now. My wedding is coming up so I gotta save some cash for that.

Turns out I didn't file enough off of the carb bodies when I deleted the TORS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
