Hey all,
Got another question for ya. Having trouble with my charging system on my Original. It seems to drain the battery so i can't start it, it will run fine one minute and if i shut it off or stall it out and go to restart it, it will turn over real slow or not at all because the battery is too drained. Battery is new, starter/generator was just rebuilt, and tried 2 voltage regulators, 1 used 1 new. Hooked up a voltage meter to the battery while running and it says only 12 volts, turn it off and the battery reads the same. It is almost an intermittent problem, sometimes it will read 12.5-13 sometimes it will read 11.5 while running. I am not running any accessories like headlights or anything and i am at a loss right now as to what it could be, so far have done everything that i could think of. The only thing that i could think that would cause a load on the system is a faluty coil, and that is the only thing that i haven't checked or tested. Or could it be that both of the voltage regulators have gone bad. Any help would be much appreciated.
Kevin
