The voltage on my M35A2 has started to run a little low this winter. I noticed that when I turn on the head lamps and run the heater (it's getting cold and dark around here) the voltage on the meter drops down into the yellow - almost toward the red on the meter. I hooked up a multi-meter and at rest the batteries are at about 25 volts. With the truck running, I am at about 27.1 volts. Turn on the lights and heater and I am down to 24.8.
The solution that I read about is adjusting the generator by removing the allen plug and turning whatever screw lies below. The only problem is that I removed the allen plug (a little more resistance that I expected) there is only shiny metal looking back at me. No screw head, no markings, just shiny metal. My concern is that I broke off the end of the allen plug??? Anyone who has successfully adjusted the generator have advice or a picture of what I should see? I don't want to proceed and damage my generator.
