dont hesitate, do the R1 regulator swap. i have an '85 max, i replaced the OEM unit, after it fried, with a '97 regulator. it lasted about 2 1/2 years. i narrowed it down by using the electrosport troubleshooting guide, what a great tool! when i hooked up the meter to the '97 regulator i was...

new regulator installed (R1 "upgrade"). checked voltage at 4000 rpm......eureka!!!! 14.22 volts at battery terminals. th th th thats all folks..........

thanks for postin the pix 626. yes, after much frustration i did the electrosport troubleshooting. i found that my previous "upgrade" (I used a '97 regulator to replace a previously fried OEM unit) was toast. it had an output of less than 4 volts. i checked the stator and it put out 72 VAC at...
