Update on the current situation:Rechecking the stator output with a reliable contact using testbeds gives an output of around 20V AC, so the alternator is working.Measuring over the battery shows that it's not charging - battery voltage remains at around 12.4 V regardless of RPM, ergo the regulator is taking a holiday.It's a Boyer Powerbox, so not a big deal, but now I'm wondering what to replace it with.I'm tempted to go with the one from http://www.aoservices.co.uk/products/a-reg.html, Al Osborne has a good reputation and his stuff works, but the landed cost will be about double of what's described as "Genuine Lucas 160W single phase rectifier / regulator" from a local parts pusher. He also has a 120W single phase Podtronics unit, but that's the most expensive option of these 3.Has anyone actually tried one of these Lucas boxes?
