docc , I am glad because I don't think anyone has an idea about a sequence of events or any sequence of diagnosis or steps on repairing this issue . I am sure no one knows for sure what has been done to repair this simple problem. 

Yessir, I am hoping that dedicated topic will lead to a resolution and may inform us why that charging wiring back to the battery gets so hot!

The poor connection is responsible for the burnt fuse. That has to be looked at as either the cause or the effect or both.

 A buddy of mine was working on a Allmand light plant with a no charge condition . One of the two large wires going from the alternator to the regulator had 4 ohms more resistance than the other. He ran new wires from the alt. to the reg. and cured the charging problem. 

 I don't think the "congregation" understands how critical EVERYTHING is and how important every step is to fixing this condition.  It will be simple once it is corrected.

edit: 77 posts, over six months, split to create a dedicated thread

I know from personal experience with another forum, that means somewhere between 3 and 4 hours work. At least, for someone who reads and types quickly.

Somebody buy that man a beer or three. I'd do it, but I'm too far away. B)

Reading through this thread and coming to appreciate the importance of a good ground. I've just ordered a surfeit of earth straps so I can connect everything to everything else. :-)

Whatever you do , make sure you voltage regulator ground does NOT go directly to battery - terminal. Kiwi_Roy warned about this on the possibility of this becoming the main battery ground and frying the wiring harness.
