Re: NEW starting problem
For you maybe...............

Re: NEW starting problem
To all: I feel so stupid for misdiagnosing the problem I can't sleep.

Re: NEW starting problem
Battery still dead and new meter hasn't arrived yet.
I'm sorry I may have mis-spoke, it does rotate CLOCKWISE.
Paul
I will do what was suggested when battery charged.

Re: NEW starting problem
I pulled the connection off the LARGE post on the back of the gen and it still motors, it's a two post gen.
Does the other connection go to the regulator??
Thanks.

Re: NEW starting problem
I will check. Can't believe that 2 regulators would do the same thing. Wiring is correct.
