charging problemo

[mONKEY BEAST]

bledy battery is not chargin
generator light comes on at slow tickover but goes out when revs are increased, and when driving its on all the time
think i may need to splash out on an alternator.


any bledy thoughts?

maybe no need to throw your dynamo - check the brushes and replace them if they are worn out. Also check all your connections (including the regulator) are nice and clean.

a bit more info here on testing the genny
