I've been testing it with the incandescent. Currently with the new SS regulator and LED installed it will only light in the start position. With the OEM regulator it would light in the start position, and ign position with the LED.

With incandescent it lights in start position, glows dimly in IGN position.

The engine was not running in any of these tests.

I'm going to have to see what diagnostics I can do to the alternator without the engine running ... I did replace the diodes and rebuilt it myself. I checked the diodes after installation (forget what the process was) and everything looked good. Although I'm not sure what if any effect the alternator has on the Gen light with the engine not running.

Going to try a different battery too, right now I'm testing it with a little motorcycle battery hooked up. Voltage in the area of 12.6.
