<![if !supportLists]><![endif]><![if !supportLists]><![endif]>    I just started my engine today for the first time since I received it 6 years  ago.  All is well except that the alternater is not charging.  I have  checked and rechecked my wiring to no avail. The light never goes out and  voltage never rises after startup.  Any ideas?

  

 Thanks,

  

 Andy

Andy,

It isn't uncommon for the generator to not begin charging if your 

starting RPM was low to begin with.  This has happened to me a couple of 

times.  The

batteries need to be topped out and a good start should provide the 

turnover that's needed to initially throw a current that will put the 

generator

on line.  If you get strong starts and a light, check the wiring diagram 

from Zenith.  If you don't have one, let me know and I'll send you a copy.

Thanks Larry.  I think I may understand what the problem is.  I got another

response direct to me that may explain the problem.  The engine starts so

quick that 12v necessary to excite the alt. (that is now there via the start

circuit) is not there long enough to do any exciting.  It seems that I may

have an old wiring diagram.  If you can send me a copy of yours I'd

appreciate it.  Thanks again.
