Hi Tom,

Yes precisely, the wire would run from the positive
terminal on the
battery to the terminal marked "30" on the relay.

Thanks Greg. Just to be ultra-clear - you mean from the
batter to the starter relay, not the starter - correct?

Hi Tom,

Yes, with the alternator conversion, you can
completely
 eliminate the
stock regulator. And, yes, just run the cable directly
from the battery
to the starter.

I put Greg Fields alternator conversion on the Eldo,
and
 
 it appears to be charging the battery (14.5v), but
after
 
 a
long ride the battery was in fact, quite dead (9v).
Had
 
 the battery tested - its fine. The other symptom is
the
 
 alt/formerly generator light is not lighting (no its
not
 
 the bulb, when I ground the wire to it with the
switch
 
 on,
it lights).

I'm wondering if I could have a sketchy regulator.
Greg's
instructions are quite clear on which wires to remove
and
which to leave - the one supply positive to the
regulator
directly from the battery, and the one supplying
power
 
 to
starter relay from the regulator. Is there any reason
I
 
 can't just remove the regulator and supply power to
the
 
 starter relay directly from the battery?
