Ammeter shows discharge of 20 amps with motor not running with lights on. This changes to 10 amps discharge with motor running.
Voltage at battery is 6.3 with nothing on. with motor running, it's 6.7, and with lights on, motor running or not, it's 6.3 volts.
I'm quite sure that the 3 main lights are 25 watt. I opened the casings up while I was re-wiring it to attach new wires and they are marked as 25 watts.
As for the accuracy of my testing equipment? I'm relying on the brand new ammeter on the tractor, and my Digital volt ohm meter. Are either accurate? I can't certify either, but I doubt that my Digital meter is wrong. It is not a cheap one, It's the nicest one from sears and it's not that old.
Allan- I still suspect that the problem is the regulator, but I've tried 3 and they all act the same (or reasonably close). 2 are brand new "made in India", one is about 10 years old "Made in usa" off of my C that worked 3 years ago. I'd like to spend the $75 from NAPA for a new "NAPA Premium" regulator, Hopefully it's made in USA and a good one, But I'm kinda gunshy with 3 other regulators not giving me the response I'm looking for.
Hmmm... Thanks for the responses! Keep the Ideas comming! (hopefully!) -Andy
