So working on getting this 78 cb750a up and running. Had it running with the choke on. Then went to test some loose wires with my multimeter trying to find where the solenoid on the carbs plug into on the harness (solenoid plugs cut off). So looking through the repair manual the color orientation on the wiring diagram for the factory regulator had the green and white wire flip flopped. Dummy me instead of unbolting it and seeing the color sticker on the cap the swapped them. Turned the key on and it blew the main fuse. Now putting those wires in their respective spots it still pops the fuse. If I unplug the three connectors on the regulator, the fuse will not pop. Checking continuity on the regulator the white wire has continuity to the frame of the regulator. Also has it between the white and the black terminal. Now going to test the field coil and stator. Everything ohms out correctly, yet the white pickup coil wire has continuity to ground. Also all 3 yellow stator wires ohm out correctly yet have continuity between all 3.
Curious if I maybe screwed up the regulator or is the pickup screwed up? I plan on getting a new regulator/rectifier here, just want to make sure nothing else is wrong before I do that.
