I just finished installing rebuilt carbs, and noticed that the
voltmeter was showing 18 volts. Measured voltage at the battery,
same thing. I assumed the internal regulator is bad, happened to
have one from an old unit, it was slightly different, but a four wire
regulator, so i installed that. Odd... the ignition warning light is
on even before I turn on the ignition. When started, the warning
lamp goes off and voltmeter still shows 18 volts. So I guess this
regulator is wrong for this alternator and buy a new regulator. But
I have the same result. The ignition warning light is on before
starting, goes off on starting, and the voltmeter shows 18 volts.
I need help... I have Masters book, but he only covers what to do
when the ignition warning light comes on during operation. I can't
imagine what I could've done when replacing the carbs, can't see a
connection there, but I'm missing something...
