[QUOTE="roondog, post: 110065, member: 1723"] took about 13 hours to show a full charge. Took off the charger, started the ole girl up. Stinky smoke all the time. Let her warm up. Idling too hight at 1600. Turned down to about 980. Multimeter on DC 20. Running across the post at 12.1. each yellow wire reading 6.2. Voltmeter on dash idle 12.1, at 3000 RPM raises to 13.3, no higher, all lights off. Any thoughts what to check next? It still seems like some low readings but the 6.2 at each yellow wire seems high, reflecting on a Steve Saunder's video on youtube that said it should be around 4. Could the R/R cause these probs?
