Now that we are in Florida for the winter, my '88 70 ETLG has decided to stop charging. Anything simple I can start with ?
Thanks in advance, don't know anyone down here !!

Need to load test battery, check battery cables are in good shape, connections are clean and tight. Test voltage rectifier, if rectifier is ok then test lightning coil.

Thanks very much.....did get the battery checked, and the cables and connections are clean and tight. I'll go after the rectifier and coil next. Thanks again, dan h

Turned out to be a failed rectifier, have one on order.
