I was going to fire up my 78 after some years of sitting around waiting to get reassembled and the starter turned real slow like the battery was real low, the battery is good and i even put the booster on it also. Then the voltage regulator started smoking and burned the white wire with the balck stripe on it. I took the covers off the regulator and it looks ok inside.
I had the 40 dissasembled and it is possible I hooked something up wrong but I don't think so.
I had the alt. and the starter checked and cleaned by the local starter shop because it had been sitting for 20 years and they checked out OK ( this was before I smoked the regulator).
Any ideas?
