The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Generator not charging

1. Since you say that the battery is not running down I would ask if there is a Fun Projects Voltage regulator installed on top of the generator.

There is a version that you can buy which has the Ford script on top.

CAUTION: If it is in fact a Fun Projects regulator and if you jumper the two terminals as installed on generator the regulator will be destroyed.

Following what Kurt said should be OK

If you do not know if it is a Fun Projects regulator it is best to follow the instructions on their website which tell you to remove regulator from generator BEFORE any testing is done.

It looks like the website has been taken down so I do not know where you get the instruction sheet anymore.

Also when checking for voltage on the input to cutout OR regulator, the engine must be above idle speed.
