Reply to "Charging Gremlins - RESOLVED"

5754If you're not kickin' up dust, you're collectin' it!

Hooked up a charge tester to the battery and had my wife slowly increase the revs to see what happened.

Well, the voltage kept going up with the RPM, around 2500RPM it passed 17volts and I had her ease off. My best guess is that it's the regulator, so I've picked up a replacement (about $45 at the local auto parts place), and I'll try to get under the car over the weekend to put it in.

The other thing I learned is that you guys aren't watching my back! No one told me that once my wife sat behind the wheel with the engine running, the only way to get her to come out was by placing an open box of chocolate up-wind and wait for her to take the bait.
