I [had] over charging battery - found ground missing on selenoid. LOl, see my other post - the bolt fell down into housing.
Fixed ground. She started right up and ran until I stopped her. I left the battery terminal hooked up - ground unhooked and went home. Next day noothing, again. But still have charged battery.
At that time I [had] current [light meter] from selenoid to 12V regulator (next to distributor) and to starter motor but starter switch would not click.
I noticed a weak wire on generator post on Voltage regulator. Replaced generator wires and reconnected wires to starter switch and starter button and that little short one over to nonworking ammeter gauge - that might have been disconnected.
She started just once and I shut her off to put the tin back on. But then all she does now is turn over fine but no spark. I now only have power discharging from battery to v. regulator next to genny to generator but no current back from selenoid to starter to 12V regulator next to distributor cap.
Is it the voltage regulator?
Battery is at 12+ volts. Generator post A is at -12+ volts with key on. No reading off F post - should there be?
