[QUOTE="Pete Appleton, post: 109249, member: 145"] Sounds to me as though you have the ignition feed coming from the wrong side of the ammeter. The ammeter is reading the power that you are consuming rather than just what is going into the battery. If you have points ignition, turn the ignition on and turn the engine over slowly, you should see the ammeter showing a discharge when the points close. If you don't see that then the ignition is wired to the battery side of the ammeter. Just trying to think of something that would be unchanged when swapping the charging system over if the fault has stayed the same. Of course if it suddenly started doing this and you hadn't changed any wiring then it wont be that. [/QUOTE]
