Recently replaced my old regulator. The charge light was staying lit and
not charging the battery. When took old reg. apart, contacts were welded
together(twin coil type, small winding coil with NO and NC contacts and
the NO contacts welded). After a 100 + miles started having same problem
again. Checked reg. and have same problem. Is this a generator problem
or is there something defective in my wiring that is causing arching in
the regulator? Any suggestions appreciated. Brushes worn? I am going to
remove the generator and give it a good look. Anyone running an
Alternator setup?
