Do you need a generator light for your charging system to function properly? Also when should the points in regulator that isolate the battery from the generator close? 69XLH
mike you do not need an indicator light.the regulator tests are in the manual(for the points)what regulator are you running?the tests are for voltage and current.Salty
Hey Salty . Delco mechanical regulator. Will be a while before I can run bike. Wife won't approve if I start it in the house. Too much snow and cold here to move it out. Trying to check as much stuff as possible while I wait for spring. Took gen. to shop . Said it's ok. I think the regulator should have continuity between Batt and arm terminals when I turn key on??? Battery passes all the tests I can do on it. SG,cell voltage and load by cranking 10 -15 secs.
Found an intermittent ground on regulator. Betting this big part of problem. Don't know how many times I checked this.
