    OH 160 overcharging???

    Put a new batt. in 78 Argo.put multi meter on it ,got to 16.9 volts before i turned it off.thinking this may have caused the batt. to fail in the first place.Any suggestions to control voltage since Techumseh is no more?I assume this is the square shaped thing on tin flywheel cover (regulator/rectifie???r)Thanks in advance!

    If you want a decent manuel pm me your email and I can send it out. Parts can be tracked down but it gets a little tough to find them.
    l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

    I'd give it a go. The extra wire would definitely be a ground if it was bolted to plastic originally. It should work no worries, and you wont do any harm trying it.
