Thanks Greg. Just to be ultra-clear - you mean from the
batter to the starter relay, not the starter - correct?

Hi Tom,
Yes, with the alternator conversion, you can completely
eliminate the
stock regulator. And, yes, just run the cable directly
from the battery
to the starter.

I put Greg Fields alternator conversion on the Eldo, and
it appears to be charging the battery (14.5v), but after
a
long ride the battery was in fact, quite dead (9v). Had
the battery tested - its fine. The other symptom is the
alt/formerly generator light is not lighting (no its not
the bulb, when I ground the wire to it with the switch
on,
it lights).
I'm wondering if I could have a sketchy regulator.
Greg's
instructions are quite clear on which wires to remove
and
which to leave - the one supply positive to the
regulator
directly from the battery, and the one supplying power
to
starter relay from the regulator. Is there any reason I
can't just remove the regulator and supply power to the
starter relay directly from the battery?
