    probably the regulator/rectifier. just search for r/r and you'll see tons of posts about it. it's the most common problem we hear of I think.

    Another quick question, after doing some searches, if it is my r/r why is it not leaving me stranded like it has others? After bump starting it runs fine and lights and gauges seem to be fine.
