I’m captivated by the Dellorto logo. Truly Italian craftsmanship.
The regulator is apparently hidden under this panel.
I’ve never seen anything like this before…
Strange design—is it a retaining feature? Waterproofing? Curious.
Just touching it and it crumbled away.
When I pulled, it came apart. In a way, good timing.
It had turned some indeterminate color—red or yellow. I traced it back to confirm, but now I can’t reach it.
The yellow wire has two cores.
The customer sourced a Shindengen regulator for us. We’ll install this one.
Grateful it came with instructions.
We remove the oil cooler and pull the case out from below.
The battery fluid was completely empty. No wonder it wouldn’t start.
These days Shorai batteries come in various sizes, which is great.
We keep various terminal covers in stock—straight and angled.
Based on the layout, we went with the angled version. Since the battery is lighter, we secured it with a band to keep it from moving around.
Before starting, it had already climbed to around 13.8 volts.
Switching to a paper gasket stopped the cover leak, and I’m oddly pleased about that.
All done.
