Fellow loopers: The generator light for my Ambo is staying on despite
(a) flashing the generator {I disconnected the fan belt and the
generator spun as it is supposed to--from what I've read that indicates
the generator should be working} and (b) I swapped out the regulator
from my Eldo whose light goes out.
The battery is pretty hot, about 13.5 V at rest. When I put the VOM on
it when the bike is running the display cycles fast even if I just have
the ground wire on it.
Any thoughts or suggestions re what is going on?
Ian--congrats on the white Eldo. Love those Loops. The Ambo's 4-speed
is pretty clunky and funky, but is in character with the rest of the
bike. Actually I'm amazed that it works at all is it is the first time
I've been inside a gearbox.
