Fire is started. Battery is charged and when it is warm enough, I will start to check out the simple things; free wheeling winch, connections, corrosion, etc. before I get too serious.

Careful your beer is getting warm.

I may be a wuss but it is too early for beer. Plastics are off, winch free-wheels quite well, no loose connections, and no corrosion. I will take a picture or two for Geoff.

Well at least close the door on the fridge so they are ready when you finish this thing.

I bet you that is the reason his winch is not working so well….. beer fridge door is open LOL

Likely not the problem but it sure helps, with running the battery down. He did say he had two service guys look at it saying everything was good!

Okay, quad won't run when I disconnect the battery. So no charging is happening. Motor is running on the battery. The part shown beside the battery (4011251 and they call it a switch-magnetic if built before 1/10/05) has some rusty terminals. I will clean and reassemble.
Tex, the box you asked about is black. It is in the second picture.

No beer in fridge. I've been waiting for Ray or Larry to bring over free Alberta beer for this retired ol' fart to enjoy some of the finer things in life! They keep talking about all the enjoyment they have and even seem to have fun collecting cans/bottles. They have quite the life!

Nope that's a jumper buss
The finned one behind it that is silver is the voltage regulator, and that's the newer style one
The 3 yellow wires are the stator feed wires
If u want I can e mail wiring diagram that I have for my buddy I got from rainy creek
They were the only place that would give the info too..

Before we get too serious, how can I test the voltage regulator?

Mike, the tech at Cernovus in Pincher (that testing may not be reliable) and Will, the tech at Mr.R's. When Will tested it and replaced the starter, everything was good for all of last winter expect for running down the battery. Like I said initially, back and forth at slow speeds and working the winch isn't a good combination for getting a charge back in the battery.
Obviously, with it shutting off when I disconnect the battery, there is something amiss in the charging system.

Does this seem right? When I put the tester on the winch connections and run the winch in, there is a voltage draw. When I reverse the winch, there is no voltage draw. Seems strange to me. Why isn't there a voltage draw in reverse?

when motor is running 1/4 throttle Doug check voltage at battery should be 13.8 or more

Easy way to eliminate the stator-----disconnect three yellow wries going into your voltage reg, with an AMP meter check to see what amps are coming from your stator at idle. should be 13.8 to 15 amps. If you have good amps.......with a charged battery installed......check to see if you have 12.8 volts coming down to the voltage reg from the battery.
