Yep, the regulator in the alternator is not regulating very well anymore and is frying your battery.

You may end up having to buy a new battery too but you might have got awaywith it!

Hi there, How much past the half way mark does it go? Most run just over the half way mark by about a needle's width or so. I agree you want to ensure that you are not running too lean though. I'm not too sure that the temperature guage sender unit or the guage may be that acurate now days due to th...

Test

I would be saying as per zukipilot, inoperative positive crankcase ventilation valve or blocked breathers.

Was it a simple drop it in with the converstion plate being used on the 1300 box? And can you use all of the 410 props?

Although they've not been a...

Hi there, I did this recently and it makes a big difference. If you pay a few pennies more and get a relay from Halfords they have a diagram on the back telling you which pins do what, or any motor factors can tell you. In effect, all you are doing is taking the strain off the wiring from the igniti...

Hi there, If it's not in too difficult place to weld or near the fuel tank it might not be too expensive to get a local welder to weld a patch on it for you. Pop down to a local auto welder and if it's more than £40 they're taking the mickey. You could spend half this in bits to lash it up temporari...
