[TR] No charge

This may sounds silly, but re-check all your connections throughout the
charging system.  I had a similar problem but found when I loosened and
retightened the connection at the regulator it cleared up....

All the best,

The ignition light on my newly rebuilt engine does not extinguish when the
latter is running, nor does the amp meter show charge. I checked the output
from the dynamo, no problem here 16+ volts, all wires are connected as they
should be, I carried out the control box test with the engine running and a
20volt meter and it shows a very low 4-5volts, adjusting the control screw
had no effect. Can this unit fail totally? Or might I be missing something,
I did check the control box earth and it seems fine.
