Sorry , how do I tell?
As far as I can tell it has electrical wires.Does it have electrical wires to the back of it or does it have a drive cable?
Ok Thank you. I am a complete novice, what am I looking for please?Check your altonater ........ . . .....
Many Thanks, I will try and have a go tonight. Thank you.On the back of the alternator there are 3 wires,
the rev counter is operated by the voltage generated by the alternator. put a multimeter on the alternator out put main supply and it should read 13.8 to 14.8 v.
- is the main power supply wire to the battery via the starter
- is the wire for the charge light
- the last is for the rev counter.
The second small wire for the light should read 12v with the engine off.
and the third wire will have a varying voltage depending on the engine revs............................................................................................
