Thank you Rutager. The batteries are new...I've got them on charge to ensure that isn't the issue. Will give it another shot when the CDI comes back this week.

I installed a modern internally regulated alternator and am concerned it's not being properly triggered due to the inadequate resistance in the gauge light bulb. I've got to wire up the resistor. Am concerned that the system isn't charging as it should.
