1985 sj410q
so before my the headlights went dim when reving the engine.
new earth strap fitted, problem solved.
now i have the sj on the road i could smell the battery cooking/ over charging!
so i checked the output voltage ok (13.5) at tick over but rev up 1000rpm +
and output voltage to between 16 -18volts?
think the regulator is shot
re soldered the connection just incase its a dry joint. but still same?
so is it possible to get the just regulator pack?![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)
