Hi I just bought a fourtrak,on the motorway on the way home it cut out i rung the bloke and he said check the wire for the diesel stop i found a long blue wire (home fitted) running across the bulk head and down to the engine had come off refitted and it fired back up.
next day went out in it parked up and walked the dog,came back to a dead battery.
jump leaded it and it fired up tested the alternator it wasn't charging.
checked connections and noticed voltage regulator wasn't connected.
plugged it back in and got a charging result on the tester.
however now when I drive and rev it out/put under load the battery light stop engine light and the water trap light flash off and on less so the more lights and stuff that are on any ideas?
thanks in advance
erm....conned
I think that kinda says it all about what youve brought, should have checked it over bit more thorough, I think you will need a new alternator for starters anyway but youve got to check what he has done on that fuel stop pretty urgent.
Full of ideas but no time to do them!!

fixed
asked about the fuel stop wire he said the original cable was giving bad test results so he replaced the cable,
I had given it a pretty good look over but spotting a connector thats not fully home isn't the easiest thing to see when you check a whole vehicle.
Went to milner offroad and got a new vault regulator today and the problem was solved.
thanks for your input
ahh
Well done, voltage reg aint too expensive, it first sounded like you'd brought a dodgy diy machine that the seller had hid things from you to just get it working, goodo
