Default Another honda moto question

So I got a 79 cm185t that I turned into a bobber. The stock 185 motor was shot so I dropped an 82 cm200 motor. The issue I ran jnto was the alternator connector. Stock harness is a 6 plug and the motlr is a 4 plug. When looking at both winding the 185 has 3 leads going to the winding and the 200.has 2 leads. How can I get these to work togetjer.

Can you get the regulator/rectifier from the cm200?

I'm not positive but I think you can just hook up 2 leads and roll.

Check out Roadstercycle-Index. He has some great info about regulators and how 2 wire and 3 wire setups work.

what i was going to do was cut both connectors off and use bullets to connect everything. Are the wires comming from the leads both positive? if so I can just tie to of the leads together from the harnes.

dont tie the leads together. They are meant to be seperate as they are different phases. the rectifier will not accept it that wway.

The stator puts out AC, not DC. DO NOT tie those leads together!

The regulator/rectifier converts it to the proper voltage DC.
