Spencer Rogers Wrench Fetcher S Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 23 Bath, PA	I have a 1949 3600 with the original motor and electrical system. I am trying to figure out the best way to verify if my system is charging the battery? I am sure it is something simple, but I am not sure how to do that. Can someone kindly reply with the steps to rule out a bad generator?
