GP 200... Vespa 5 pin regulator (with battery) .. original battery loom

can anyone please help... a friend has the above set up ... what wires connect to what terminals??

Red
Grey
Brown
Purple

and the yellow from the stator....

i understand that red, purple and grey relate to the battery circuits... but how do they connect and to which terminals on the regulator?

and just where does the brown go?!

thanks

Dave, what type of CDI do you have?

Taking that you have a regular Vespa PX200 regulator, then it goes as follow:

green (verde) red (rosso) white (bianco) goes to the CDI.

brown goes to the lights.

red goes from battery to regulator and from regulator to loom I would understand.

I would think that your gray cable is white in fact.

Dave, normally there are two connections marked the same ie. G G. These are the AC connections, so the stator output and all AC circuits connect to these, it doesn't matter which way round the wires go.
If you are using the battery for the horn, parking and brake lights, as standard, then grey, purple and red must be connected to the B+ connector.
Ideally the C connector should be used to control the rate of charge to the battery according to it's needs. This requires a positive supply from the battery, but it must have a switch to disconnect it when the machine is turned off, otherwise the battery will go flat over a period of days.
If you are helping mick094m over on the lcgb, then the reg/rec he has is not suitable for this purpose. He could use it for AC only, by connecting all wires to the A A connectors, it doesn't matter where any wires go on these two but obviously the horn would need changing to AC.
