Alternator / electrics HELP!
Hi Guys, new to the forum but been running my '76 911 for over 10 years now.
Just hope someone can provide some tech-help, pointers or things to look out for:
Been having charging issues lately - basically no charge getting to the battery although the alternator checks out all OK [pumps out up to 22v on revs].
HAVE JUST REPLACED THE REGULATOR and now get 13/14v on idle rising to 17/18v on revs, thus charges the battery. [ Also for your info, meter on the regulator terminals: D+ = 14 to 22v and DF = 8 to 11v]
HOWEVER, ignition light glows BRIGHT under revs plus both indicator/turn signal dash gauge lights are illuminated [dim on idle but brighten under revs].
Any suggestions? Just a bad earth or something more sinister.
If the battery continues to get 13/14v to 18v will it fry?
Will the power spikes on revs [max 18v] also fry other components, bulbs etc?
Thanks for your help in advance but if you need anything clarified, just ping me.
