Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, I purchased a new alternator and fitted it after some wiring problems.
The instructions did not say join the two wires together from the F & D and the drawing was not clear also.
I searched this forum and found someone who at the end of his remarks said "don't forget to join the wires together and connect the little wire to the thin wire from D. Thanks to this forum I competed it and when I rev the engine up I get 14.1 volts.
What I don't like is if the lights are on and I am ticking over the amp meter goes - 4/5 amps and the voltage drops to 12.1, to me its no better than the dynamo.
Has anyone else had this or maybe I am missing something?

thanks

Patrick

I think you've perhaps got a mix up with the D wire(s).
There's previously 2 wires going to D, as per this post: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=39514

it's almost certainly not connected up correctly; but I'm happy on a Generator, so not sometime I've 1st hand experience of and I don't have time to looking into it right now. There must be plenty of people here who have done the job.
