Gerritt Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Picked this up for a song... Should serve me well.... In good shape Only one issue.... it needs a voltage regulator as the head light gets brighter the more gas I give it..... and blows out the bulb.... how hard is this to do myself? does it attach to the main off the engine or the battery? the part is around 40 bucks... any advice? G
Fisherman Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Easy to do, it's just a small plug and play module on most models. See here to get an idea, second pic down. http://www.off-road.com/snowmobile/ask-the-snowman-reader-questions-answered-16625.html

Chuck Best Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 If you need a place to store it ,remember your buddy only lives 300 ft. from lake Simcoe....lol...Nice scoop buddy...TC and tight lines....Chuck...
GYPSY400 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) It should be fairly straight forward to change the VR.. find the old one under the hood, and re&re.. The wiring shouldn't require any soldering. Edited January 2, 2013 by GYPSY400
ecmilley Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 670 was a great engine, put some 44 carbs and big pipes and hold on
Bernie Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Gerritt. What is the machine? I'll ask the guys where it is.
Gerritt Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Gerritt. What is the machine? I'll ask the guys where it is. Thanks B! its a 670 Grand Touring SE
Gerritt Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Just had it out for a nice long ride G
Bernie Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Just chatted with Jim. He thinks it is mounted forward of the rewind starter and down low. Almost under the engine. Regulator rectifier.
Gerritt Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 Ok great Bernie thank you! I am nervous to turn on any of the electrical components until I get this replaced. The previous owner was blowing out bulbs. I will pick one up in my travels... Thanks again! G
Joey Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Great machine Gerritt. I hope we'll see you out on Simcoe this year then
