Try changing your wires. One is a sense the other the battery feed I think. Either way try the swap it might work???

you should be getting 14.5 volts to charge up the battery. but how much equipment were you running? you have to much load on the alterator.

Disconnect the coil HT lead and put your hand on the end of the coil and then crank the engine over. If you get a little tingle then its not the alternator.

If there is no tingle try putting battery acid in your eye

sorry but i find that kinda funny

if someone is dumb enough to even take that seriously they shouldnt be near a car


i lost my great uncle/pops twin brother to a explosion

he was an engineer/welder was given the task of welding up a tanker it had been drained and cleaned out properly (aparently) how ever once he touched the rod to the tank boom up it went

moral of the story is its not so much about the pertol its self its the fumes that r the real flamable item

X2 Drive belt to the alternator sounds like it could be a little loose. Doesn't take much, the falcon alts tend to need pretty good tension to keep em turning fast enough.

how do you know its drawing power/ do you have a clamp amp meter to check?

whats your battery voltage engine off, at idle at 2000rpm and at 2000rpm with all the electrical stuff turned on?

the coil thing is fun, I have got 2 people to do that, one even did it twice :)

ok better way of wording it would be that there is 14.5 volts going in to the alterator as well as coming out

and yer wasnt really silly enough to take tzars advice on that one lol

Sence wire should have 14.5v (or what ever current charge at battery is)
This is to control the internal regulator
