home from the TE/AE United in 1998, the generator gave up. Mostly the
brushes were worn and I had to use a hammer on the generator about every 50
miles to keep the charge going. The generator needed complete rebuild by
the time I got home.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Listers</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you recall I was experiencing some problems with my charging system.
My first guess was a problem with the Voltage regulator since I have had
problems in the past. I switched out a couple different regulators, but that
did not correct the problem. I then turned to the generator and had it bench
tested...it bench-tested OK. So then I turned to the
wiring/grounds/connections. After a lot of fiddling still no charging. So I
went back to the generator and had it rebuilt despite the positive bench test.
That did it. The ignition warning lamp is off and I am getting a solid 14.5v @
1500 rpm at the battery.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks to all who contributed input. It is always a big help.</DIV>
