I plan to replace the voltage regulator and neither is marked. The ammeter usually registers 30 amps, so I thought the regulator may be at fault. Larry [Reply]   [Send Email]

That would be the armature. There should be a letter A stamped into the case by one of the post's or the letter F. Hal   [Reply]   [No Email]

Glad you found it. Hal   [Reply]   [No Email]
