Thanks for the responses but I am still confounded!!
Well I may not have explained things clearly and I also had some typos The bus stopped charging for no reason and the generator light remained on. I reverse jump started the bus and it was Ok but I blew my radio, luckily no alternator in'70 I bought a generator & regulator from the junkyard, VW used parts in San Jose, $40 gen $10 reg, both returnable if not needed. To check the generator at the junkyard he wired it up to a battery and it motored, I did the same to mine and it motored fine. I replaced the regulator with this new looking shiny one that had german instructions on the side and the same connections. Now the regulator puzzle, underneath the original regulator is a puzzle. It is a black box 2"*1"*3/8", it had the wire from the generator that went to the warning light (#61) going into it and a terminal that was connected to the warning light. What could it do and do I need it. I cannot see any reference to it in the Bentley manual or the Muir Bible. Well I just guess that I will have to charge over night and run. I have to get it fixed if we are to go camping at the end of October.
