Dave: I went back and cleaned all connections again all the way to the amp meter. Voltage at the battery ( new 2 months ago ) was 6.38. Jumper installed between the field terminal on the voltage regulator and the negative side of the battery showed running idle was 6.42, high idle 6.70 so not much increase.
What should I be seeing ? Amp meter needle moves to the plus side at high idle or higher but not as far as it did before this issue started. Could this be an early sign the gen is about to fail ?
