Charging Issues:

16 Amp Regulated Alternator
The 16 amp regulated alternator system provides AC current through two output leads to the regulator-rectifier.
The regulator-rectifier converts the AC current to DC, and regulates current to the battery. The charging
rate will vary with engine RPM and temperature.

2. RED test lead from meter (2)
3. Connector (3)
4. Two YELLOW AC input leads (4)
5. RED DC OUTPUT WIRE (5)
6. AC Output terminals (6)
7. RED DC output lead (7) to connector
Note: Stator, regulator-rectifier and fly-wheel are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE with any other charging
system.
Output Test
WHEN CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR COMPONENTS, PERFORM THE TEST IN THE
FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:
Temporarily disconnect stator wire harness from regulator-rectifier.
1. Insert RED test lead into VΩ receptacle in meter.
2. Insert BLACK test lead into COM receptacle.
3. Rotate selector to V~ (AC VOLTS) position.
