Charging Issues!!!! 60 ser

Post by dexter09 »

Hi, ive been having some major issues with charging in my 60 series 2H diesel

its just stooped charging, i replaced the internal regulator and brushes and ran over my slip rings with some emery paper and checked all the ignition power feeds to the alternator.

i then got fed up and bought a brand new aftermarket alternator and fitted it, but the only one i could find that was cheapish was one for an external regulator. so i purchased an external reg too. i wired it up using my mates sixty and a multimeter to determain the wires. and now theres still no charge!!!!
does anyone have any ideas on wot i should do next? im at my witts end!!!!

Only way to be sure is to check all fuses, connections and wires now that you have eliminated the alternator as the problem.
