before you go and start changing regulators check the connections in your harness. bad connections will sometimes give symtoms of a bad regulator.

just put a voltmeter across something on the electrics and try revving it up some , if it goes anything above 14v or so the regulator is shot .

not always the case ;)

how so ? the regulator is just that , only a couple diodes sending voltage over 14 ish volts to ground ..

referr to previous post ----^

true , then check the voltage directly from regulator to give best indication .
