first of all thanks for all the help. I am just frustrated so if I sounded craby I am sorry.
Ok went out and just started the 100 tonight before I had to quite because of rain.
I did notice that if I watch the amp gage and listen to the engine I could hear its tone change and I could see the amp gage move from 0 to about 1-2 amps for a few seconds then drop to 0. then it would reapeat no apparent pattern though. This was at 3/4 throtal. I then idled it down that the amp gage went to -5 to -7 amps. I then ran wide open and it was up to 0 and it would go above every so often.
so with that said I am thinking if the vr was really junk the amp gage would be below 0 amps all the time?
DO you think it just needs adjusting seems like at full throtal it would be 5-8 amps easy? and at idle possible 0 amps?
I will try to clean all the wire terminals and double check that. let me know what you think
Thanks.
