In addition to Jim's suggestion, check the area around the bolts that hold the regulator down. I had a similar problem at one time, it was due to the regulator sitting in a very rusty spot and not getting a good ground through the mounting screws. A separate ground wire to a non-rusty area did the trick. >On 26 May 99, at 11:03, famjones@swbell.net wrote: > >> The gen light on my 71 Sqbk (solex carbs/auto) has been slightly glowing >> during periods of high demand; headlights, brakes, turn signals, for >> quite some time.
