Thanks John, I have read that but there is no reference to voltages

I think where my confusion lies is I am use to looking at battery voltage on 12V systems to get an indication of the charging systems condition.
Typically a 12v system reading 13.8 to 14.2 with the engine running is golden

Using the above experiences, I am expecting to see 6.9- 7.1 at the 6V battery
but am only seeing 6.1.
The input to the regulator from the armature is 7.3 but the output to the battery is 6.2 Which makes me question the regulator???

So in summary what should I be seeing at the battery or am I chasing my tail
