The "amp" gauge on my D-19 hasn't been showing a charge lately. When I pull out the light switch and the lights come on, it shows a discharge, but other wise doesn't move.
Checked the generator out and it is putting out a charge.
Cleaned the ground and the connections on the regulator.
When I short between the battery and generator terminals it causes the gauge to show a discharge. If it is the regulator, wouldn't it cause the gauge to show a positive charge? Don't get a response on the gauge when I short between the F terminal and ground. I put a lead off my test meter to one of the wires going to the gauge and grounded the other test lead to the tractor and got a reading. Then did the same to the wire going to the other side of the gauge and got the same reading. Does this mean that there is a charge going thru the gauge but it just isn't showing it? I'm kind of lost here. If the regulator was bad, would I get any type of reading at the guage with my meter? Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wil

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
