Well last week or so while driving my ol' 55 to work in the wee hours I have noticed my ammeter discharging. Even though its been a little dark in the morning I have ocasionally popped the hood and wrapped on the voltage regulator with and old piece of almond wood. I have seen this done in the past by some old farmers I know and believe it or not she starts a charging. I'm sure some of you Bolters have run across this situation before. Would this be the air gap sticking from the current or relay? It is the 12 volt with a generator and regulator. Thanks there Bolters.
