Generator Battery Charging

[krminyl@...]

Thanks to Ralph, I finally got my genset battery charging to work properly.
The diode he described was part of the culprit, and I changed the circuit
breaker and the three solenoids in the charger compartment just to be sure.
Works fine now.

By the way, that diode looks like a 1/4" bolt or insulated stud, with a nut
on one end and a solder "loop" on the other...each end has a 12ga wire
attached to it. Kind of hard to find if you don't know what to look for...mine
is
attached to a aluminum plate, facing out toward you, as you open the battery
charger compartment door (that's the way it is on my 86 PT...your's could be
different).

Good luck (and thanks again Ralph...three yrs later)
