    Why did Husqvarna use 2 stator leads (yellow wire) in the 1986 510 TE/TX model? It's a 70+70W system.

    Anyone know how to connect them together for a single 140W output?

    Just put them together and test it some were wound in phase and you could do this, and some were not. If so you have 12v 140w if not then have 2 12v 70w power source. Later George

    George- Thanks for the input.
    Forgive my inept knowledge on electrical systems. Is it as simple as that?
    Splice the two yellows together and test? Check with a multimeter I presume. What am I looking for in the test?

    HWY,
    Maybe this will help...

    I have the same ignition, two stroke version, on my 83 WR250. I was told to do just what George says to do. I tested voltage between yellow and ground/frame.

    Each yellow put out about 20vAC and when connected together it was 25vAC. I ran the "combined yellow" to my voltage regulator, then powered everything off that.

    Actually, since mine's street legal, I then rectified it to DC so I could use/charge a battery and meet California's "lights on with engine off" rule. But if you're just setting up for off road and just want headlight/taillight when running you can keep it AC and wire straight off the voltage regulator. Happy to help more if needed.
