Ford 640 had to be jumped (as per Bruce 50 tips) 3 times yesterday on hogging job.... totally disconnected bat today... gave bat good charge... then pulled a "SouNdguy" on VR polarity... simply arced Bat and Field terminal, and she charges just fine now... Bat tester ran 6.2v with engine off... reads 6.5 running... started up and shut off 20 times working tonight, with lights on... started right up every time!! Thanks guys!!
 
keep an eye on her... i'm betting that genny may be a tad sick.

6.5 charge volts is low.. should be more like 7.2 at throttle. also, needing to repolarize after merely setting is not normal.. unless you changed polarity or otherwise worked ont he charging system extensively.

keep an eye on her.. make sure she is charging sufficient amps, etc.

post back if she goes south
