re flickering lights
Allen
if you replaced the regulators make sure they are the correct ones. there are two different regulator voltages depending on mfgr of alternator.
suggest replacing the diodes and especially capacitors. they are 450 - 500 mfd electrolytics. Also consider replacing the smaller diodes located same place. It very well may be the electrolytics.
1. is the current and voltage matched for each engine?
/
2 if you reduce load does the flickering go away?
3 what is the current being drawn at night?
you might want to consider an EI volt/ammeter with shunts. this makes it much easier to monitor what is going on with the voltage regulators.
make sure all you connections are tight. any resistance will cause problems.
there has been lots written on this subject on the previous board.
fyi
