recently replaced the 6 volt voltage regulator, new "used" brushes on the generator, cleaned up all the contact leads and ground wires and patched any frayed sections of wire.
normally the meter would drop to discharge while sitting at a light but would then wind up to show a charge when the engine rpm's came up. i had the generator checked on a test bench and everything was working great.
yesterday i noticed that the amp meter in the instrument panel was showing a discharge even while i was cruising. according to the repair manual this indicates a fully charged battery. the only thing i noticed though was that at certain times the meter would jump to the charge side only to fall back to the discharge side when i would come to the next traffic light.
short story long, i guess my question is does this sound normal or is there still something wrong with the charging system? if something is wrong, whould i look at the voltage regulator again or is there another area i should investigate?
any and all advice/opinions are welcome.
