Steve, hope this helps. Just looked looked at my 916 and taken this pic. I have a earth wire going from the regulator/heatsink bolt to the main harness.

[keefer]

same as Karl
so it wanst the batteries fault then hey ?top kit that

Mine '95 916bp is the same as Karls, wiring heading off into the loom which i assume goes to the battery negative,





I was out in the garage as Karl posted his picture up, wish i never bothered though as i found a few drips of oil coming off the bottom of the engine, ah well thats another thread for another day.

Cheers,

Shandy

Hello

many thanks again one and all.

I need to find that earth got a feeling its attached to the negative
terminal on the battery, my mistake

great pictures though . . .

PS Keefer never thought the battery was at fault, I new it could only
be my wiring, aternator, or rectifier. That battery got me home

It doesn't matter where the earth goes as long as its not to the positive terminal! Battery is just as good as frame, better in some respects.
