trail boss charging issue...ideas???
hello all and thanks for viewing my post.i have a 2003 trail boss that i am working on for a friend of mine and the issue i am having is the quad does not appear to be charging the battery.i have metered the voltage at the battery and regardless of when the motor is at idle or reaving the voltage stays the same(around 14 something volts).i can't get it to change any voltage readings at all.my friend tells me that it runs ok until he turns on the lights at night and then it runs down the battery.i have charged the battery and it is a fairly new one.do any of you guys know some tests i can try to run or if you fellas have seen this before maybe you can tell me what this problem is.thanks again guys for all your help!!

I have checked the voltage and now I am getting some funky readings.With the engine running,It will read 11.30 volts and then drop to 10.54 or so then go back up to 11.30.Could this be the regulator or is this normal?For whatever reason i have still not ever seen it hit 14 volts with the engine revving,and when you turn on the lights it drops even lower.All connections seem fine i have cleaned them with contact cleaner.I'm starting to think this may be an expensive fix for my buddy!Ideas????
