Joe P., you say... Quote: "My 3020 has what appears to be a stock regulator but when I checked the point air gaps they were way off"..... Answ, those regulators are not all the same & if there was a running change since the air gap numbers were published your regulator might not match the one the air gaps were given for. Quote: "Well, after having adjusted the air gaps on the regulator solenoids myself, my 3020 fires up much better now that the battery is getting charged more. I checked the output and it is just slightly higher voltage than the book says. So I guess time will tell if I over adjusted; if I boil off too much battery water I"ll have to tweak the gaps again"..... Answ, that"s about all you can do.. If your run times are short you won"t have any problems with a little higher voltage.. If your tractor spends hours on end at higher RPM in field usage you will probably overcharge the battery.. Get the tractor [& charging system] working hot then check the voltages again if it�s still high you might want to readjust the charging voltage slightly lower.. The air gaps are only part of the adjustment equation, point spring tension is also a big factor.. Let us know how it does in the long run.. [email protected]
