For a Good Reading, by the way where can I get all the headlight assemblies. I have the winged brackets but need everything else.
Thanks

The ammeter should show a discharge with the key on and the engine not running. Lights make for a greater discharge then. Once running the ammeter should show a charge for a while, depending on the difficulty of the start and the battery condition. Current should taper to zero as the battery charges and the time for that depends on the current available from the dynamo and the auxiliary loads like lights that are on during the charging period. After that, the ammeter should stay at zero unless the auxiliary load exceeds the dynamo current capability.
