The issue is, it's not charging the battery. I do not have a manual for this machine but I do have a manual for a 1998 Boss 500. This manual says if I get above 7Aa/c from the Yellow and Yellow/Red, the stator is good and I'm getting about 14. Everywhere I've read on this in this forum, I see where people are getting 40 plus Aa/c at high idle and as high as 70. I have a manual on order but if somebody can clear this confusion up for me I would appreciate it.

Usually a bad regulator, box in front of radiator,should be a manual in the stickies at the top of this section, look for a 425 -500 magnum manual. Third sticky down from top, first manual should tell you what you need.

Thanks Russ C. I saw that yesterday but don't want to pay for a second manual. Mine should be arriving in the mail in a couple days. I agree it's probably the regulator but don't want to just throw parts at it. I'll wait patiently and get into the numerous other issues this beast has. The plastics and box are shot but I want to get the mechanics and electrics functioning right then sell it.
