[QUOTE="I Like Waffle, post: 7393794, member: 600248"] Sounds like your regulator/rectifier is messed up. If you ran it for any period of time without a battery hooked up, it will burn up the diode packs in the alt in short order due to current overload. Alternators are meant to generate current, not store it. Sort of like your kidneys generate **** and your bladder stores it for a very short period, but must be put into the toilet ASAP or your bladder busts. Your bladder would be the regulator. Same concept. [/QUOTE]
