[QUOTE="vintagetour, post: 10148, member: 1147"] I will probably stay with the mechanical regulator until it fails. I like the idea of being able to take something apart to see how it works versus something solid state that works with a diode (I assume). You know the old saying "How do it know?" With my limited electrical knowledge, it seems that my generator does not charge just above idle like a BMW. Is that a fair assumption? I am not even sure I have the Amp meter hooked up correctly. I hooked the feed (not sure if that is the correct term) from the generator/battery to the discharge side of the ampmeter and the "load" side (going to the lights) to the charge side. Would that be correct? Thanks Tom [/QUOTE]
