Sorry, apologies. I should have been more clear. Charging.
I've checked. It is not overcharging, it's just that the ammeter is showing every amp drawn instead of just what is going to the battery charge, as is typically what is shown.
Turn the lights on and the ammeter jumps to the right.
Turn the A/C on and it jumps even more to the right.
To the point where the needle is buried and you can't see it.
No other problems exist, the battery is fine, the alternator is fine, etc. etc
I gave rides last month when I had a 'garage warming' party and Mike Trusty helped tune the EFI some more. It runs fine!
I've got to do some balancing of the TB's, but, as I've told others, it's the fastest thing I've ever driven!
:-)
I was hoping someone else had seen this issue on an SPF and could point me straight to the problem. Otherwise, I'll do some sleuthing and find where it is incorrect. And give Dennis O a call also...
As for the voltmeter vs. ammeter argument, Jack, it's my contention that if you want to _really_ know what is going on at any time, you need both.
Just and old fart BSEE opinion....
Thanks for the input, guys.
Things to do this weekend...
- balance TB's
- install fire suppression system
- adjust rear clip so it's straight
- mow grass
- etc. etc. etc.
