Hi Joe, When you hold the test leads on the battery post with the engine running at fast idle you should be getting 13.5 to 14.5 volts across your battery terminals. If it isn't showing voltage in this range your regulator or generator is the problem. I think you have a generator problem since the engine should run off the generator if you remove a battery cable. Put the red test lead on the armature post, it may just have an A stamped near the post and ground the negative lead. You can do this with the engine running at a fast idle. you should read the output voltage of the generator. I have my hour meter hooked to mine and it only reads voltage when the engine is running. Hope this helps. Hal
