Thanks scott, I took mine to local mechanic today,and told me that the inner coil is bad and the regulator too, but after few minutes during my visit ( I saw from the mechanic shoulder), the voltmeter shown 14 plus ..so I believe the coil is producing fire(charging up the battery).,I guess I need to replace only the regulator !! would you sell yours for how much ? I`m near san diego,ca. at the otherside of the bordel !
