charging/starting troubles

[Jinzo Ningen]

Finally figured the culprit was a cracked fuse block. Few bucks to replace and good to go.

If the charging system is working properly, with the engine running, you should read 13 or 14 Volts across the battery. If it is only reading 12 Volts the charging system is not working. Make this measurement before throwing parts (money) at the problem.

Hope this helps,
