Voltage at both posts, shows discharge with ignition on or lights on. Forgot to metion that the genny actually charged but very weak before I took it to be overhauled. [Reply]   [No Email]

Genny have a good ground??? With gennys FLD grounded and if you jumped across the cutout at fast RPM if all else is okay but she dont charge well I STILL SUSPECT THE GENNY John T [Reply]  [No Email]

The guy has already looked at it once since it was redone and he thought he fixed it. I guess I'm gonna take a loss and go somewheres else I have lost confidence in the guy. I'm already out over 200 bucks on it. [Reply]  [No Email]
