[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 11329, member: 782"] I worked on Prime Movers about 3 times total and don't really know alot about them , but would guess from your post that the alternator is not putting out , as when you have the charger hooked up you get different results , and I would guess that if the light is light that it is charging , no light it's not , you could verify by hooking a meter to the battery and note the voltage with the engine running , you should see over 13 but under 14.75 volts , if not check the fan belt tension, and electrical connections for tightness and cleanliness , that unit is pretty old and may have a voltage regulator thats external and not internal , some alternators are protected by a fuse and if blown it won't charge , doubt that machine had a fuse , also if it has a voltmeter and it is bad it will stop it from charging on some machines depending n the wiring , it's not much but some thoughts [/QUOTE]
