Altenator questions, please help

Terry, I understand why you didn't use the 1 wire now. Yeah mine is of the 'on at 2000 rpm' variety, with stock sized pulleys and convential mounting. Since I replace the JY one with a rebuilt, mine works fine now once it hits 2000 RPM's (which is nearly immediately and repeatedly icon_smile.gif ).

 

Regards,

Yeah, my alternator is running off the driveshaft (sits behind the passeger seat between the seat and the shelf). The pulley ratio would not allow a 1 wire to "turn on" until I got up to about 35 mph with my 3.54 diff and my tall tires. With this 3 wire one, I hopefully will have at least a small charge going on about town to help a little bit.

I'm still slightly confused - no light no charge? But I've got nothing on that wire I'm pretty sure icon_sad.gif Mine charges, I'm sure of it... I'll look at mine tonight and double check (sigh).

 

BTW - this reminds me, a friend who used to restore Zs used to bitch about how som of hem would simply die if a bulb on the dashboard blew. I'm thinking this was probably a charge indicator light like the one you're talking about. Be aware that if that bulb blows you may not have any charging going on. Sound right? icon_confused.gif
