What is it that goes when I made this mistake - the alternator or the

Which should be replaced?

Thanks - Michael

Hello

To find out for sure you have to full field the alternator ,This mean's you have to bypass the regulator i think by jumping the field and arm wire.
if you have any questions you can e-mail me at and i will give you a phone to contact me.
