[T3] Generator Light/funny voltage

[Will McCreight <whmcc@attglobal.net>]

<x-flowed>So I am in need of your counsel:  Gen Light has started to go on, on 
startup, then goes out after about 5 minutes.  Voltage gauge reads 12 
volts until light goes out, then rises to 14 or so.  Have by now 
replaced both the generator and the VR, but no change in behavior.

Should I conclude that this is a voltage drop caused by a short 
somewhere?  I will be exploring that possibility next.  I think I must 
be getting an electron loss which partially drains the battery, then 
once the generator refills it, the voltage jumps back up to 14 v.

I did take the battery to NAPA and their meter checked it out as OK.

Thoughts?
