Update! Solid state regulator was toast.

So, I've been trying to diagnose what I thought was a generator issue. Turns out it looks like I have a regulator issue. Generator testing determined output is good, climbed over 30V easily. At some point a solid state reg was installed, is there a way to test one of those? I know the old mechanical ones can be adjusted and maintained, but know nothing on the newer types.

So, last week I decided to pull the regulator off. As I stood up with the reg in my hands, I caught a whiff of fried electrical. Took the cover off and found this:20230212_192401.jpg20230212_192401.jpg20230212_192347.jpgreceived_1304104526833779.jpeg
It's now all good, got a new one swapped in, even stuck the old government plate on! received_725173769219384.jpeg
