Bob - yes, last winter/ I did all of the tests and checks in the
electrical primer you published and probably a few others that Patrick came up with. Everything seemed good. Here's what I posted at the time on my testing:

"From orange wire terminal on back of alternator to ground for voltage regulator - 12.5 volts (battery geting a little low). No change when I reved it up. The regulator was plugged in.

Unplugging the regulator and jumping the two terminals the voltage from alternator to regulator ground was 14.5 volts and as I reved it, it was climbing to 17 to 18 volts."

Guess I'm going to have to go back to square one and do everything again. I'm also about ready to throw another alternator on it since it's about the only thing unchanged.
