Sorry if this has been covered before but I’m hitting a bit of a brick wall here.
I’ve been having problems with the charging system on my 1974 850 MKIIA so I’ve purchased a Podtronics reg/rec and I’ve fitted it using a mounting plate supplied by AN so all is good on that side of things.
Where I’m struggling is that I’ve removed the zener diode, the capacitor and the rectifier, connected the 2 yellow wires from the reg/rec to the alternator leads that led to the rectifier and connected the red and black leads to the battery as per the instructions that came from Podtronics. Now I’ve done that I have no power to any electrical components. I’ve checked the obvious and the fuse on the negative lead to the battery is ok so all I can think of is should I be doing something with the positive and negative leads that went to the capacitor and the rectifier, if that’s the case then what do I do with them?
