I'd like a diagram for a voltage regulator, 6 volt AC, to go on a small motorbike's taillight-only circuit. With no regulator, the taillight keeps burning out when I'm at max speed. Headlight is ok though.
Bike is a 1965 Sears/Gilera 106cc, that has AC electrics with no battery and no regulator. No DC current at all.
There are two coils;
1) Powers the headlight and the horn.
2) Powers the ignition coil, and the taillight.
Powering the tailight off the ignition circuit was common on antique Italian mopeds, for unknown reasons. Whenever the brake light burns out, the ignition goes to ground and stops the engine.
I found this circuit, but it's too complicated for my small bike. I'd like something simpler, more compact. Any ideas?
