Thanks to the brain trust here, and some deuctive thinking on my part we now have 7-8 amps of charge.
I popped the cover off the VR, and located the correct points. I just opened and closed them a couple of times. There was quite of bit of tension on the amp points. I checked them running, and when I opened them the gauge fell off to below zero.
Then started the little fella, and thought I saw a little more charge. I ADVANCED the throttle up to about 1700 and the gauge flew over to 7 amps.Question I never asked was 'what rpm do you need for max charge'? I just assumed the system was engineered for lower RPM. So what is the rpm for fully rated output. I know when the shop tested it he had it REALLY humming on that machine.
Thanks for all the help

Now I know why I might have been draining the system. I did a lot of raking in 4th gear at a fairly low rpm.
