charging problems

Well that's good, but it would be even better if you would described HOW you got it going / what the solution was for all that read these threads.
 
i ran a new field wire to regulator ,changed the regulator again , and a new wire from regulator to bulkhead connector.

Did you forget the part about doing a few burnouts after getting it fixed?
 
Glad you got it fixed.. better yet, told what you did to fix it. Many threads wanting help with a problem rarely end with the person who started the thread reporting on what was done to resolve the problem. Thanks..
 
sorry i angered people by not posting how i fixed . i do not know much about what i am doing and not sure what fixed it but in the future i will post what i done and am very thankful to all that helped
 
This is a simple diagram for your alternator output charging circuit. View attachment 943799
Is there a reason why this diagram does not have the wiring for and include the voltage regulator? As I am looking at my charger and trying to troubleshoot why my battery isn't charging I see only 1 wire from alternator in this diagram. Should I assume the battery wire is the one missing and what is show is the field but without the regulator? Super novice so when I see phrases like "full field the alternator" I have to rely on pictures. Thanks.

Because that is not a full wiring diagram. It is a diagram of making changes to one side of the amp gauge circuit
 
Good reminder in these posts for me to order a fire extinguisher for my Charger. Done. I bought the H3R 2.5 lb. red one with HalGuard, a clean extinguishing agent. It's been on my list for a year, no better time than now to buy it - go to https://www.h3rperformance.com/collections/auto-fire-extinguishers they are 20% off right now. I paid 213.56 instead of 274.99.

Actually, the diagram I included was one without changes but ok, we'll assume you meant the next diagram. Good to know. So your response still left me with questions. Is the wire coming off the alternator in this non-full diagram the field wire?

No that diagram shows the battery wire and not the field wire
Thats why there is no regulator in that diagram

If you still have the stock Alternator and a stock regulater
you should have 12 volt ignition feed to one side of the Regulator (IGN)
and a wired going from the field terminal of the regulator to the field terminal of the Alternator

If you have a newer Alternator that has 2 field terminals you can run one wire to regulator field terminal and ground the second field terminal at the alternator
Or use a modern electronic regulator and run 2 field wires
