As expected, there are a few "bugs" to work out.</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">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!</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">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".</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">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?</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance.</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">Tym McDowell</p></body></html>
