Typically a clicking voltage regulator is the sign the battery is weak or almost dead. Check for the proper size of all cables, good and clean connections and most of all do a cell check on your battery. All the cells should read very close to each other. If one or two are somewhat lower the battery is shot. I believe a fully charged battery should read no lower then 12 volts when standing or around 13.5 when the generator is charging it. Check your manual. Adjust the voltage regulator if necessary.<P>I don't know about anyone else but the reproduction old style batterys only seem to last 3 to 4 years.

thanks Ron, the battery is also new, and cables are replaced, but I will check connections.When engine is running, I get 14,5 volts at the battery.

I seem to have two electrical problems at the same time with my 65 Sportwagon (300 4b).<BR>While cranking, the voltage at the (HEI) ignition drops to 10 volts, and only after a while the motor will run.The starter seems to take away a lot, maybe it is on its last legs. My question: is it normal that it will not startup with 10 volts??<BR>Next problem: a clicking voltage regulator, and you see the dash lights flicker. Where should I search for faults?? Generator and voltage regulator are both new out of the box.Thanks for reading, Arthur
