I was afraid of that, so I tried putting the wires from the alternator
together and then going to the light, but this didn't work; no charging,
no volt-reading on the gauge...
At Idle without any accesoiries running we got 13.4V at the starter-post,
revving the engine produced between 14.6 and 14.8V, dropping to 14.2V
with the lights and highbeams on.

Allready knew that from you ;-) Now I could REALLY use some suggestions;
without the light-wire I get no charging, without the sense-wire there's
no charging either! But I'd hate to burn up the regulator; should I put
in a resistor of some sort? Any suggestions?

I didn't pay much attention to the brand of alternator, but I know it's
an aftermarkert one, no Ducellier of Motorola. The owner bought it locally.
If important I could ask him what brand/type it is...

Thanks for the help,
