Recently installed 8 volt battery for better starting ( works fine ). Noticed amp gauge flickering to neg. Changed voltage regulator thinking that was the problem, still no luck, the same condition exists going more neg. with incresed throtle speed.

YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR REGULATOR UP TO CHARGE AN 8 VOLT BATTERY. THE CORRECT VOLTAGE IS ABOUT 9.5 VOLTS FOR AN 8 VOLT BATTERY. GOOD LUCK

I am going to apologize in advance for what is going to sound like preaching. Here is an other example of trying to fix a prolem with using batteries that are incompatible with the rest of the system. First voltage regulators are set at about 7.5 volts and will not let your battery charge, hence the discharge of your battery. The coil does not like the additional voltage either and may have a very short life (May). You need to replace the battery with a 6 volt battery and fix the starting problem whatever it may be. I and most others run 6 volt batteries with no problems whatsoever. I would never think of going to a higher voltage battery. Higher voltage is not a cure for a sluggish starter although it will work better for a while.
Happy Motoring

Thanks Claus, I think your right. I should go back to 6volt battery and from what I can see maybe get the starter motor rebuilt. It may be pulling to much juice.
