a month or so ago i had a problem with my genny not charging. to cut a long story short; it was the genny. bought a 2nd hand one off brad and his yard sale which worked fantasticly untill now where it appears to have died too.

is there any reason why my car would just start destroying gennys? this is really annoying me. the armature in the genny looks good to me although im no expert, i thought it was just one of the brushes a bit loose but i fixed that up and still no joy.

any suggestions?

change the regulator ,it might be the problem

get a mulitmeter and test the charging should be around 14 volts from the regulator and genny

coz it wants an alternator?

regulator is making it charge too hard
