MF 65, Generator, Delco/Remy "A" Voltage Reg (4 wire).
The Ammeter reads neutral when running (any speed), but will show "-" when I put on lights. I also periodically have to recharge battery after using tractor several times. Here"s what I"ve tried:
1.Polarized Generator
2.Tested good grounds for regulator and generator
3.Grounded "F" @ gen and run +Amps and >35volts @ "A" terminal
4.Jumped regulator "A" to "Batt" while running; no change
5. Jumped reg "A" to "F" while running; no change
6. Checked all wiring for correct connections
I"ve looked through previous posts on this site for similar problems. From all I"ve read, the results from test #3 above would indicate generator is good; but it doesn"t seem to charge properly and regulator doesn"t test bad. I also took the generator to an auto electric place and it tested good there as well.
I"m out of ideas, can anyone help? Thanks
