Just my $.02, but when I started working
in my grand dad's AGS shop my freshman year he taught me that the only way to really know what was going on
was to use both, it's
a fact that both amperage and voltage are the works
of the system, take away one and it wont work, simple as that. I use a volt meter as it tells me if I have any
power to work with in the first place, the amp gauge tells me
if the alt. is working or not, using both makes figuring out
whether your battery is toast or not is not complicated
why make it so...??
Because the amp meter has magic in it, Its has some kind of voodoo over its f lock they can not give it up and understand if the voltage is not there the stigma of that little needle movement is going to send them down a long road with no light at the end of the tunnel.
The original post is a very good example if he had gave a voltmeter reading he would not have had to sweet it out till the amperage came down...
Using amp meter readings only to determine charging system health is a pipe dream what are they smoking "prove me wrong I can handle it".
I can not get a answer to any of the questions it does not surprise me because of the lack of knowledge from staring at amp meters...
Nutter question with a voltage reading and amp meter reading tho the amp meter reading is mute and can be very misleading..
4) Seen question 1.2,3 I am getting disgusted after mo of dealing with this issue I brought a 12V wiring harness, a new alt and battery. Life was good but after 30 days I am back to were I started. I am about to the point of going back to 6V
that seams to be what the general population at YT think is best.
I guess the pizz poor excuse of not having are being able to provide a volt reading is all I can see I have not done. I broke down and got a volt meter reading.
I start the tractor up the amp meter pegs out at 30 amps then settles down to around 0 to 5 amps the volt meter reads 13.5V at 30 amps then settles down to 13.2V at 0 to 5 amps.
A) bubba says make sure everything is clean bright and tight, take the battery and alt to a parts store and have it checked.
B) bubba says confirm the belt is not slipping the pulley is tight on the alt and has the correct pulley/belt combination.
C) bubba says convert it back to 6V you were a dumarse to go 12V.
D) bubba says That's a normal amp meter reading the amps go up once started to replenish the battery's storage capacity once it satisfied it will show only the amperage needed to run the tractor. The voltmeter reading is mute means nuttin you wasted your time believe the amp meter its magic.
E) all of the above.
Pick one A B C D E.
