Hi everybody!!!
I just installed a new Balmar 621-70-SR-IG alternator on a MD!!C Volvo Penta engine of my sailing boat.
I connected (among others) the Positive output of it, through the Ammeter to the "Batt" end of ignition Switch, then to the (+) of the solenoid (starter) and finally after that to the (+) pole of the battery.
Though, when i start the engine, i read almost 14V on the voltmeter (I was reading 12,8 with the engine off), the reading on the Ammeter is 0 !!!
Could you please tell me possible reasons for this troubleshooting?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
