Thanks for the video Mr. Miyagi. I’m getting ready to swap from a PMA system back to a stock alternator on my 78 650. How can I replace the locating pin you talk about at 21:02 ?
Well I guess if you could find an original pin to put back in there you just tap into place and you'd be good to go. I'm not sure where you're going to find one you're going to have to find some material and maybe make one or eyeball stater housing in place. I did look around the shop see if I had one but I don't. The thing is the screws are going to hold your housing in place just make sure you have it turned the proper way. Hope that helps thanks for watching
@@outlaw86customthanks. If I’m understanding you right, what you’re saying is the locating pin is there for ease of installation. If I’m mindful of where the locating pin ought to be and how I install the stator in relation to it, then I don’t actually need the pin to be there. Correct?
@@danieldobbs5386 yes, it's just for locating the position of the stator. What I said before is that when you install the screws in it holds it in position. Your wiring also helps position the stator. These are fairly simple engines to work on.

As a matter of interest why do you want to revert to stock, as I'm considering installing a PMA, would appreciate your experience.
Thanx again.
Where do you get your long clutch rod?
