Hi

I have an 85 HJ60 with a 2H. The problem i am having is that occasionally i have whats to looks to be a voltage spike and both my temp and fuel gauge go up. The temp goes from its normal just under half to close to the top of the gauge and the fuel goes up aswell. This only happpens for a short moment and then they return to there usual positions this happens once or twice or might not happen again on that trip or for a few weeks. I also watch the volt meter while this is happening and it doesn't seem to change. I have had the voltage regualtor replaced and electrics checked.

Has anyone else had this problem or know what could be causing it and how to fix it?

Common fault with 60's instruments, very unlikely to be an actual spike.
Check IH8MUD for detailed repair options.
