I have studied Bob's wiring diagrams and read every post, I think, about wiring. I just am rather dense about electrical systems. -Problem: I can't keep the battery charged. It is a new battery, 2nd in several months due to my error. I surmise the unit is draining the battery when sitting, switch off and I likely need a diode(?) what ever that is, somewhere. -System:
-Delco Remy alternator with batt connection and a 2 wire pigtail.
-Voltmeter, new, grounded from neg terminal per installation instructions.
Voltage regulator has been completely by-passed peradvice of a IH shop. I am told alternator has built in regulator. -New coil with internal resistor. -Voltmeter shows 12/13+ when running. After charging battery to get it started, voltmeter shows 14/16 until properly charged. -How I have it wired: ( I am using proper gauge wires)
-From Alt: Pigtail #2 to Alt Batt Bolt.
Pigtail #1 not in use. I do not get a reading when I put a meter it.
-Alt Batt bolt to voltmeter on + side. -From voltmeter on neg side:
-Grounded per above.
-Wire to starter post.
-Wire to ignition switch.
-Wire from ignition switch to push button starting switch.
-Wire from push button starting switch to starter solenoid. I Hope this makes sense. I know someone out there can help me. Thanks SO MUCH in advance-DC

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
