Answer
Hi Chuck,

Sorry for the delay. I'm busy working overtime.

The MC has a regulator & rectifier. Look behind side covers.

Perform an output test to determine condition of charging system. Check reg/rec for proper operation. Check electrical connectors for clean, tight connections. Battery must be fully charged and in good condition or test results will not be accurate and MC will not run properly.

Respectfully,
