I know converting AC power to full wave DC has been done many times and is well documented for Stellas as well as the later model PX (with the 5 wire stator) utilizing the TrailTech regulator. In fact i just did the conversion to my 2005 (US model) PX150. It was easy to do, and works great for running a HID or LED headlight.
But now i'm trying to do the same thing to my US market 1980 P200E (7 wire stator, 12V battery, electronic ignition). It's simple enough to float the ground, and attach said wire to one of the yellow TrailTech wires, but then i'm lost after that. Since i have the double yellow wire stator, that means i'll have left over wires, even though i shouldn't.
I found one thread here that discusses the DC conversion using the double yellow wire stator on a p200 engine with points ignition, but it looks like it needs to have the coils rewound. Can i just rewire my 7 wire stator to a 5 wire? Am i better off locating a 5 wire stator then? And does that mean i need to use the 5 wire ignition key switch and wire harness as well then? I have skills to solder and rewire, so that's not a issue.
