Just a little update. I finally got it all figured out. I had 3 problems that I think all happened at the same time. The alternator and voltage regulator were both fried. Then to top it off the hot wire from the alternator was broken and shorted in a spot that you can't see with the blower on. I picked up an alternator and regulator and tried it. Still no joy. First test after that was to run a wire direct from the alternator to the battery. Instant success, charging at 14.4 volts while running. I had done this same test with the old alternator and there was no joy so that told me I had an alternator problem. I replaced the voltage regulator just in case seeing as they are cheap. I have now run a new wire to the starter solenoid and everything is working as it should, finally. I am not very good with electrical and a 3 part problem can really set me back a while. I am glad this one is over. The only thing I can guess is that the main charging wire shorted out and took the alternator and voltage regulator out with it.
