Title: another charging system question Post by: hydra on June 09, 2012, 10:10:02 AM hello folks,
a couple days ago i was out on The Crest and went to pass someone and felt the engine losing power as i tried to get on the throttle. as i passed him i tried to honk my horn and it didnt honk but i felt the engine slightly lose power again. i immediately detoured and headed straight home. got on the 210 and made it halfway before the engine completely die. got it towed home, charged the battery and put a volt meter on the battery terminals with the engine running. reading was 12.5v and as i started giving it gas the meter started moving below 12.5v and would continue reading less voltage as i gave it more gas. would this be an alternator problem or the rectifier? thanks Title: Re: another charging system question Post by: Howie on June 09, 2012, 04:51:06 PM Could be either, but it is probably the regulator/rectifier or the connection where the stator wires connect to the regulator.
