My 1976 MK-3 is not charging. Replaced the podtronics regulator with another one I had on hand and still only getting 13.6 volts at the battery with the motor running at 3000rpm. Zensor diodes are not used . Can't seem to find one on ebay. Does anyone know where I could purchase either the stock one for the MK-3 or a higher output one ? Thanks Hershey

Have you tried another battery? What type of battery do you have (Conventional, AGM, Lithium, etc)? Lights on or off when getting 13.6volts?

If you don't use the Pod intended for the Mk III charging system, it will fry immediately. Don't ask me how I know.
It is the correct one I have used it for many years. ThanksIf you don't use the Pod intended for the Mk III charging system, it will fry immediately. Don't ask me how I know.
might be a possibility I have never changed the rotor or stator Thanks
have used the same type battery for years with no problem. 13.6 volts with no lights 13.4 volts with low beam 13.2 volts with high beam Thanks Hershey

But how long have you used the current battery? A conventional lead-acid battery with nothing connected that is fully charged is about 12.7 volts. 13.6 volts is about what you should see with the engine running for a conventional lead-acid battery. If it's not holding a charge, then more than likely it's bad.
Also, any poor connection can cause problems. For instance, feel the fuse holder - if the contacts are slightly corroded, it will be between warm and hot.

I have always used since they started making them is a Deka Sports Power absorbed Glass matt battery. The battery and connections are okay. I fact quite a few years back I replaced all the battery cables with heavier ones. The charging system should be putting 14 volts or better back to the battery which would keep this battery good and hot for the electric starter.

OK, but a fully charged AGM battery is 12.6-12.8 volts and at 13.6 volts it is being charged. Any rechargeable battery is being charged when the voltage applied across it is higher than its voltage. If you've load tested the battery and it's OK, then maybe your meter is not reading right.
A dying lead-acid or AGM battery will hold the charging voltage down somewhat and simply not take a charge. I recently had a 6-month-old AGM battery that was not taking a charge but would stay on my charger for hours with the ammeter showing 1 amp and the voltage holding at 13.8 - reconnect it to the bike, turn the headlight on and within 3 minutes, the headlight was very dim.
