Bruce,
Readings look okay for the charging system. My experience has been that
on older Triumphs is that the voltage stabilizer is also a voltage reducer.
Most of the Jeager, Smiths and Lucas gauges operate at 10 volts. Not
sure about TR6.
I did run across a 75 Jensen which had gauges that required 10
v.Insturment lights were on a seperate circuit and were 12+v.
Problem is most likeli stabilizer. They seldom go bad, but when they
do, it seems to cause a lot of confusion.
