generator test

Gentlemen,

I'm dealing with a charging issue and have determined that the voltage regulator is working intermittently and new one is on the way.

Now I am wondering about generator performance. After grounding the field terminal, a voltmeter at the battery shows about 6.6 volts at idle with no accessories/lights on. I get about 6.49 volts at very fast idle with accessories on.


Are those voltage numbers a concern?

Thanks,
Mark
