It should go up to 14.1-14.4 as the RPMs go up and then level off. At idle it is usually below 13, since the generator doesn't really do anything at idle. My numbers are measured at the battery, where the regulation occurs. If you measure at the fuse box you will get a bit less. If you measure at the generator you will get a bit more. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
