bouncing ammeter 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be robert russell on  Sun Dec 23 08:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hope you all can help me with this one.

the ammeter in my 70/145 alternates between a nice steady charge and then it will start to flick between a big charge and a discharge.

its getting my goat!

SO far i have checked all grounds. batt to frame ,frame to engine,regulator to frame.

Iwent along living with it for a while but it cost me a new alternator.

Ive tried 3 different good regulators..... still does it.

occasionally it will just go to discharge and stay there until i disconnect the field wire from the reg and reconnect it, seems to re set it.

when in flicker mode at night it makes the head and dash lights pulse quite a bit.

What have I missed?

thanks in advance.. russ
