Herb and other interested parties:
I finally redid all electrical connections from the engine to the reg/rec, re-installed a new ground wire that runs from the battery to the engine started bolt, and all my problems went away. I even found that the rec/reg that I thought was trashed is still good. So now I have one good one, probably the old one that I took off is good as well and I have a brand new one on the way. I think I am fixed. :-/Larry

Good deal Larry!
Curious, did you find any corrosion or bad connections?
I humbly suggest a wee drop of ACF-50 on crimped wire ends and any place there are dissimilar metals such as copper wire terminal and steel bolt.

The HKS is extremely sensitive to grounding problems. I have always in the past with Rotax engines only grounded to the frame. Not good enough for the HKS. You need to ground to the battery. I believe that was my problem although there was some resistance in some of the connections. Larry

Bad grounding seems to occur all the time. I bought a "grounding block" from B&C. It is a copper block with a large lug for the battery ground and welded on tabs for all the component grounds. Works great. All ground connections in one place.

Good to hear.... sometimes a broad brush approach is necessary...
I spent 22 years in the computer business...early on...a computer fixer for IBM.....Over time I found that a good solution to a tough problem was to go and get a cup of coffee and relax...Seems as though clearing the head allowed a quick fix once back on task...

A cold one is always the order of the day...after the durn puter is fixed!!
A funny....guy who sold me the airplane(not to be mentioned) forgot and left the master sw on....so I took the tiny little battery out of its holder...noticing how light and puny it looked...never thought...Lithium?? But it was....and I killed it...or maybe it died over the couple of days it sat with the master sw on? 160 bucks ....ouch!! gonna go with a sealed lead acid and a new, larger holder...I am a bit surprised that a standard charging circuit for lead acid batteries could reliably and safely charge a Lithium product...Must have some electronics built into the battery?
