Questionmeter reads 6.2 volts @ 4,000 rpm, when it overcharges and I have a meter handy it reads as high as 12 volts at the lamp, but prior to last episode, I found a ground unconneted at the lamp and the lights were working minimally for 60 miles?

Mark, put a electric meter on the battery and hold the rpm's to 4,000. hold it till the meter gives you the highest reading and give me the result.

AnswerMark, the only thing that controls the output voltage is the regulator. if it high sometimes not always look at the battery charge lead or wire. if it is broken internal itll give the regulator a low false reading and make it over charge the system.
