More thoughts on your charging problem:


Duh! You do not have a battery! I have been telling you to measure voltage at battery terminals. I hope you still have the wire where the battery used to be. Before making any voltage measurements, try the following:


Insert a battery into your circuit. Borrow the bat from your Cdo. It is not necessary to mount the battery for this test ... just set it on the floor and wire (16 G minimum) it to the old bat terminal wire, or to the Podtronic black wire (I assume you still have pos earth). Run up the engine and see if your problem is solved. If so, then try the next step if you still want to run with no battery.


Borrow the blue capacitor from your Cdo, and wire it (observe polarity) in place of the battery. If problem still solved, you know what you have to do. I have one of those blue caps if you need an extra.


If these steps resolve the problem, the fault is in the regulator, or perhaps not a fault, but simply that the regulator has a harder time regulating without some filter in the circuit which a battery or capacitor provides.


Eager to hear the results,


Slick
