7245 charging problems

[josh]

Good evening,. I have a 7245 with charging problems.
It stopped charging the battery all of a sudden. Battery light on all the time. I replaced the voltage regulator and now the battery light is off while at an low engine speed but when you increase the rpm the light gets brighter as the rpm's increase. Any help would be awesome.

Two possible errors. If the generator slowly pulls out the battery when not in use the fault lies in one of the diodes in the generator. Also check the generator charcoal so they are not worn out or stuck. A new generator is relatively cheap today so replacing the diode bridge may not pay off.
