Well my engine seems to run pretty good.  It took a while to get all the
   oil leaks squared away but it seems to be dry now.  Oil pressure was
   running high, pegged the gage at 80psi so I'm not sure where I stand on
   that ( @2000 rpm)  My charging system isn't working and I'm at a bit of
   a loss since it is made up from components I can only partially
   identify.  I could only run the engine for a short time as I burned
   through the turbo to exhaust pipe gasket and there was no load on the
   engine.  I did see boost pressure start to rise to 0 psi around 3500 rpm
   but didn't run it up higher than that.  I should have a warp drive prop
   by the end of the week so that will help.  My engine seem to be about
   twice as loud as Dave's, which won't make the neighbors happy either.

   Congratulations Randy.

   You need a higher pressure gage. Be careful the gage could fail and
   you could
   pump all the out through it if it is the mechanical type.

   You need a 150 psi gage as the oil pressure can go almost that high
   when cold.

   Put a volt meter on the alternator and see what is coming out.
    How many wires come out of it. It may need a new regulator.

Thanks Paul good to know on the oil pressure.   It's an electronic
gauge, pressure and temp in one.  There are 5 wires coming out of the
alternator, three yellow and two others, will have to check on the
colors.  These all go into the regulator, from a 1983 Honda CB550 SC,
and there are three wires coming out Red/white, Green, and Black.
I can't find a schematic anywhere that matches this so if anyone could
shed some light I would appreciate it.  I may have hooked it up wrong
and damaged the regulator but I'm not sure.

Sounds like the green may be the field winding.
However I would put a volt meter on the red and see if the voltage
is a constant 13 volts or so. The reg could be built in.

If the field is not getting battery voltage the alt won't work of course.
