Great – that’s more like it. It looks like you deleted the charging system, no toggle switch ?

Harry, I had a guy out West make up a solid state voltage regulator,
and the “Hi / Lo” charge rate toggle switch is no longer used.

I started out with a fully charged battery today, and I’m not
sure if there was any “charge demand” from the generator
windings or not. The old cut-out relay is still in use.

The previous trip, the battery was way down, and the system was
charging that day.

But Yeah…… Runs Great!

Prepare to be boarded!
