Well I`ll be damned! Your fix works! I didnt wire in the relay yet but i did try a jumper from the blue ign feed at the regulator to battery positive and the damn voltage stabilized! I`m still not sure why this works as the voltage reading on the blue ign is only 1/2 a volt lower than battery voltage with key on (figured thats normal loss going thru the ignition switch) and shows 13.5-14.0v with engine running? But surra than **** it stops the voltage fluctuation! If ya ever in the Warwick, RI area let me know, I owe you a beer or three! Thanks!
