I posted a thread a few weeks ago about a PMA and reg-rec problem (charging at 15.4v turned out to be blown reg-rec caused by the solder failing on one of the phases of the PMA). I thought I had it fixed the problem. Put on new battery, but ran with the capacitor. The wired in voltmeter reads 14.4v at 3000 rpm - that's good.
Yesterday I gor round to switching over to the battery. Kicked first time with the healthy new battery, but the voltmeter says there is no charge going to the battery - it just reads the battery voltage, which is falling as power is drained from the battery, not replenishing from the charging system.
I have attached my wiring diagram. the first is how I have it with the capacitor, and the second how I had it with the battery, and the third shows how I adjusted it yesterday.
Can anyone see anything obvious?
I wondered if it was a poor ground. I checked, and all is good (so I think!) and it is the same ground used for the capacitor.
Thanks
