Re: excite wire voltage
There should be a full 12 V on that wire. It's switched on by the key, so check your ingition switch for corrosion. Not sure if slightly lower voltage would affect it though.
Depending on the alternator, you my have to get it above 1000-1200rpm before it will start to charge, but then should continue even at lower rpm.
