Here is a pic of the way I have my alternator wired and it's not charging. Tell me what's wrong please!

As long as the solid yellow wire, and yellow/black wire are both going to the right places on the regulator, it looks correct. Sorry, I don't know too much about the regulator's function and effect upon the alternator charging, but perhaps that would be something to look into as well.

WORTH, I have a wiring diagram that someone showed me, but it doesn't show exactly where the wires go on the alternator. I know I have all the right wires GOING to the alternator, but don't konw if I have them hooked up to the correct posts. Does your diagram show what posts they go to?

your posts are marked
just match the wire color to the post, I think the white wire is the field and it looks right in your picture, but it also has to be on the "F" terminal on the regulator

It looks right to me, but I'll try and remember to check my wiring diagram for you tonight when I get home.

Ok, I have both BLACK-RED wires hooked up to the "GRD" post.

I have the WHITE wire hooked up to the "FLD" post.

The BLACK-YELLOW wire hooked up to the "BAT" post.

And the WHITE-BLACK wire hooked up to the "STA" post.
