Have you checked your alternator output voltage as you rev the engine? Maybe your voltage regulator is bad and it's producing too much voltage and that's pulling the starter relay in.




Stupid question time... What's the easiest way to check alternator output and what should it be? I'm assuming I just check the voltage output on the battery lug of the alternator? Should it stay constant as ~14 volts as I bring the rpms up? Because I have noticed that as I bring the rpms up, my volt gauge shows the voltage going up as well. I thought that was somewhat normal.

I have a single field alt and have bypassed the ammeter if that matters. And my alternator charges directly to the starter relay.
