I am not running the 8 volt battery. I have got a brand new optima 6 volt, and trying to get everything back to original specs. I do have all the correct 00 cables and grounds. The generator is charging the battery, and the voltage regulator is working, I just want to make sure it's adjusted properly before I fry the freshly rebuilt generator.
The voltage regulator and generator are correctly paired together. I think the previous owner had cranked the voltage output up on the regulator to charge the 8 volt battery. When adjusting my cut out relay, I had to turn the adjusting screw a lot to get the points to open. When the points finally did open, the voltage jumped from 7 volts, all the way up to 12-13 volts. So I am guessing I need to get the voltage output properly adjusted before I can dial in the cut out relay. And according to the manual I can't adjust the voltage output without the .75 fixed resistor (or .25 variable). I have found a .80 resistor online, I am hoping that will be close enough to make the adjustments I need.
Like I said the manual procedures seem pretty simple, just want to make sure I am doing things in the correct order. I welcome any tips or tricks to dial these in.
Thanks in advance,
Jake
