Ok guys, Allen being checking the electrical system of the GW and we don't fully understand what is going on yet. The PO replaced both the stator and rectifier, and said that still the battery wasn't getting charge. We checked the new rectifier and actually it seems to be a bad. We check the old one (which he gave us), and we are getting around 3.5 Ohms of resistance between diodes (between the yellow to the red or between the green to the yellow). We don't really don't if this is the right resistance, but at least is consistent. The thing is that with the old rectifier the charging voltage to the battery while running the engine is above 16 volts, which seems to be a lot. I am wondering if any of you guys GW owners have measure this numbers and how much are you getting?
Javier. PS: Yeti yes, I work at goddard.
