Subject:      Electrical/gauge question
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi Folks,
I recently bought an 84 Westy Wolfsburg.
Has anyone else seen these symptoms?  I suspect they are related (bad
voltage regulator or something).  All my gauges read low:


1)The temp gauge sits halfway between cold and the LED when the engine is
fully warm (even at 70 mph).
2)The fuel gauge never makes it above 3/4 full.
3)According to the tach, idle is about 600 rpm.
4)The battery indicator by the sink never makes it to green, even after a
long trip/charge.
5)The battery light doesn't go out after startup until I rev the engine a
bit (it goes out when the tach says about 1500 rpm).


Any ideas?


Brian Keese


ps: As if I weren't proud of my van already... It got its first full-fledged
compliment yesterday.  Now I am beaming.
