Battery was Kaput!

[Rapprunner]

Ok, I have a new, and properly installed rectifier, and a new starting battery. Tomorrow will tell the tale as to whether or not my charging issues have been resolved!

Thanks for all the help thus far in getting this fixed!

Have a Great Weekend,
Howard V.

Sorry for the delay in reporting back, new battery, and new rectifier - things are back to normal! Ya-Hoo!

While running @ WOT I am now getting voltage readings of 13.5-13.7, so it looks like properly securing the rectifier fixed that problem, in addition, the tach is working again - guess that loose rectifier had that whacked as well!

So, long story short - $25 new rectifier, $72 for new battery and I am back in business.

Thanks Again for All the Help and Suggestions!

Regards, Howard V.

Hope you get 5 years out of this battery as you did your last. And for future reference, a funny acting tach is a sign that either your rectifier is going bad or you have bad connections on the tach (or the tach is bad).
