    Hi Guys!

    My '72 T120V doesn't seem to be charging very well. It is fitted with the bridge rectifier and zener diode and batt voltage struggles to reach 12.8v, even when revved hard. The rectifier has been tested and is working correctly. Unplugging the zener seems to make no difference. The alternator open circuit voltage is about 30v AC when revved. Is this normal? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Rich
