Truly you are a nonpartisan. And correct, too.
Usual suspects- check grounding first. After that, either rebuild the
genny (harder) or clean the contacts on the regulator or simply replace
it (easier). This is a post I copied several months or years ago
(specific to Bosch generator, I believe):

The regulator is for a 1969 Dodge Monaco (among others). Wells (& Auto
Zone) part number is VR706, *NOT* the VR733 which is used on virtually
all
Chrysler products. I paid $10 for one.
If undercharging is the problem, and it often is on Guzzies; I suggest
a
'60s Dodge voltage regulator, available at NAPA for $14. Part # VR3258.
Two wire hookup - small - cheap - ideal voltage. They will BTW, work on
any
Guzzi, alternator or generator.
Cheers,

One week later the Jappo is likewise toast-o and I am beginning to suspect gremlins in the charging system. At idle I am running a bigger deficit than the (Democratic/Republican/Socialist) idiots in (Washington/London/Canberra) at 35K I show 13.7 volts on the meter. Bosch Gennie, 30 YO regulator, new harness, twin green Dyna coils and dyna box under the tank. Could someone point me at the usual suspects? David in NYC |
