Voltage reg. not regulatin'

Guess I have another issue. I've noticed the ammeter gauge pegs to C, and the regulator is hot to the touch. Reads 8.5v at the battery when running.

I've read some of the period literature regarding testing/adjusting (thanks Howard), but I just don't have that kind of equipment. Only a digital multimeter.

I'm considering removing the cover and examining the contacts for burnt/stuck issues.

Any suggestions for a charging system novice with limited equipment?

Thanks!
