Alternator
Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:24 pm
Firstly, thanks for everyone’s help thus far. As some of you may have read I had a pretty bad experience with a local classic restoration garage and I am slowly (due to young family) working through the items they completed on the car.
I am now looking at the alternator and cannot fathom why they have left the old voltage regulator in place. I have only managed to start the car once since having it back and quickly tested the voltage across the battery while at idle as being around 12.5v. Meaning it’s not charging.
My understanding of the old voltage regulator is pretty basic so looking for some guidance. Is there any reason to leave it in place?
Is it wired correctly as per the below picture?
Thanks Again, Steven
