I have been struggling to understand my Oliver 1655 voltage regulator/alternator. The battery is good but it is not charging. Replaced the alternator...same result. Replaced the regulator....same result. On the original mechanical regulator there are 2 wires. One goes from the F terminal of the regulator to the F terminal on the alternator. The other (Orange) wire, per the service manual is from the ignition switch and goes to terminal #3.
There is voltage on the orange wire. When I jumper the orange wire to the F terminal on the alternator, I get 14 volts...the alternator is good.
Do the new solid state regulators require more connections to operate? What am I missing?
