rc356s 'Bolter R Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 261 California	Hi All, I did a search but did not find the answer. On my "new to me" 235 the generator does not seem to charge, nothing indicated on my gauge. Is there a way of testing the output of the gerator directly on the two wires coming out of it? Is there a way of knowing if it is a 6v or 12v generator by just looking at it? Thanks, skipper
