I've tested at the battery and voltage goes up a little at 3-5k rpm. But nothing near 13-14v. The stator tests passed and I checked the wear mark on the brush. From my understanding the stator needs a field voltage. If it's low then it will affect the charge system output. I did some reading and people do replace stator and voltage rec/reg only to still have the problem. I'm going to check for voltage drop at the fuse panel next .
