In my wiring diagram it shows the wire from the amp tellite 'spliced' into the wire from the regulator 'gen' terminal to the 'A' terminal on the generator. Rather than splice into the wire would it be acceptible to run the wire from the amp tellite to the terminal (gen) on the regulator? What is it that turns off the light once the generator starts? Thanks to all, Tom/Idaho

Tom,

The answer to your question is, yes. The A terminal on the gen, the splice on the wire and the Gen terminal on the regulator are electrically the same point.

Hi Tom,

In order for any lamp to 'glow', current must pass thru it to heat the filiment hot enough to give off light. If electrical current does not pass thru the filiment, nothing happens.

So, you can accomplish this in three ways: remove the voltage source, remove the ground, or make both contacts the same potential.

Put 12 volts on both sides of the lamp's filiment and nothing moves thru it and therefore, the light does not light. :>)

Hi Tom, I've got the same amp light issues on my 504. I'm putting out 12-14 amps form the generator but I can't get the light off. By the way' I've got those numbers on the draft position control repair. If you want to give me a call early am or 9 to 10 pm I'll rattle them off to you. My typing skills are even worse than high school. Plus too many cuts and scrapes on the fingers from working on this old ironall the time. Migraine

Normally, one side of the light is hooked to switched ignition power, and the other side to the wire from the "A" terminal on the generator to the "GEN" (ARM) terminal on the voltage regulator.

When the switch is on, one side of the lamp is powered up, and, since the other lead is hooked to the generator output, if the there is no generator output, the light will be "ON".

As the generator begins to charge, and the output comes up to match the voltage fed to the other side of the lamp from the switch, there will no longer be voltage drop accross the lamp, and it will go out.
