1993 Indy Sport 440 Bulb in headlight went, got new bulb (non-halogen type) had truoble securing properly but thouught that I had it right. Blew bulb again, bought another bulb installed and blew again. Checked voltage, 27 volts DC initaially, down to 11 volts ac at bulb receptacle at idle, 12.7 when engine revved up somewhat. Figured that voltage reg, is OK must have not secured properly, bought new bulb and brsass wire part that holds bulb in. Installed properly. Started sled, bulb blew again when warming machine up. What is wrong ? Anyone ?

Thanx,

Kelly

It Sounds like a regulator problem to me. You should not have 27 volts if the regulator is working. I would check the regulator again. It may be a bad connection,(possibly a ground) If the voltage changes as much as you claim.

That sounds like what happend to my old 79 JAG. I put on a regulator for 14$ and all was well again.

I had the same problem on my 650. Replace the voltage reg and it should fix the problem.

i had a 94 440 super sport with the same problem put in a new regulator and worked fine was cheap and easy.

I'ld do the voltage regulator change out as well. If you have handwarmers - they will probably get really hot for a while before they burn out to. The higher voltage will make some real heat.
