When the bat. is full charged there is little or no flow to it. Turn the lights on with out the engine running for a minute or 2. Then start the engine & rev it a little. It should go over into the C area for a while & then taper back to the middle. Turn on the lights & heater & accel the engine The gauge should go up to the middle at least. You can tell more with a volt meter across the bat. It should charge about 7 volts on a 6 volt system & 14 on a 12 volt system. Like Red says a gen. system doesn't charge at idle.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
