One a dual field alternator, would it still function the same if the two wires were swapped on the field connections?
Test as 67Dart273 said.Its charging just fine. The problem is its over-charging. Its pegging the amp meter, going full charge. The blue field wire has full battery voltage when the key is on. Its within a tenth or two of a volt compared to the battery. I added a ground wire to the votage regulator today but have not tested yet.
here's why I suggested that in addition to 67Dart273's test.check the voltage while running.
\??Resistance??
Because its an open circuit.It stops charging when you disconnect the VR plug.
You're making us read between the lines here.While idling at 800 rpm I have 12.2v at the battery and 11.8v at the blue field on alt. I jumped 12v from the battery directly to the blue field and it continued to charge full steam.
Aw sh*t. How much is the EFI drawing? The 6AL is 1 amp/1000 rpm so that's nothing assuming its working right.Its only switching on the 6AL and Atomic EFI which both have large gauge wires going straight to the battery so they should be on relays internally.
