[Tigers] MKII Alternator another question

                Yes I believe you are correct that the 15 to 15.5 v is at
full charging and I believe it should drop to around 13.5V when not charging
the battery.

 

1st you need to know your battery is fully charged before any testing

Make sure there is nothing running other than the fuel pump and clock - no
other heavy loads during testing

 

You need to get the wiring diagram for the Mk II and check all the wires
from the alternator to the battery.

Make sure they are clean, in good condition and in the correct positions.

 

Hope that helps you some

Thanks for all the advice, one more question.   I put the 60 Amp alternator
on, and still have one of the  same problem as with the old one.  With the
engine running, voltage across the battery is a constant 15 to 15.5 volts,
all the info I finds says it should be 14.2 to14.7 volts.  Turn the lights
on and I don't see a voltage drop.   Bad regulator?  I put a new one on a
couple of years ago.  Can it be tested, should I replace with a solid state
replacement?  Thanks
