Regulator or burnt out stator would be my guess.
916 burps and farts...any ideas
Hi everyone, not a super technical guy when it comes to working on my own ride... i was having a fuel issue with my 1995 Ducati 916 at the track, it felt a bit sluggish for a couple laps and then backfired a couple times...the guy behind me said I shot a nice fireball out my exhaust at him, the throttle felt like it was also surging forward (at the worst tInes 
... I was coming out of a turn and got on the throttle, it shut down and died. I could not get it to refire, I noticed the gages were not spinning up like normal and i could not hear the fuel primer cycle through. I later checked the 15 amp fuses on the relays under the seat and noticed one had charred in the middle, I changed the fuse and it fired up, I have not taken it for a good ride yet, but have had it idle for a bit, am I naive to think I got lucky and this fuse was my only problem or are there other likely issues I should check for... again not super handy with the wrenches but have a few good folks that are, what should I be expecting and how do I check for issues?
Thanks in advance for your advice and for not heckling if it's a blatantly obvious problem... Cheers

Thanks Black_Arts. Now the tricky question, how do you test those things. I believe the local Ducati dealer put a new stator at the beginning of the year? I'm hoping to avoid giving it back to them as we have a short summer out here
Thanks Gary, that sounds simple and what I will try greatly appreciate the advice.
