[Tigers] Amp Drain

[Dr. T. Y. McDowell]

Tigers,


I recently completed a 3 1/2 year restoration on my Mk1A.  As expected, there are a few "bugs" to work out.


I'm moving from the original generator to an alternator (waiting for the CAT bracket assembly to arrive) and received a lot of help from the List last week.  Thanks!


Now I have a new problem!  I have an "on/off" type switch on my battery (new battery) that I turn off when not running the Tiger.  Even with the battery turned "off" there is a constant 1.5 amp drain at the battery.  Yesterday, I started disconnecting one thing at a time to see if the amp drain went away.  I want to find the problem before installing the alternator.  This morning I disconnected the battery pole on the voltage regulator and my digital multimeter read "0".

I'm not any kind of engineer, so I have no idea what that means, or where to look.  Could my problem be the voltage regulator - which will be eliminated with the alternator conversion, or should I look elsewhere?


Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance.
