Re: workhorse battery draining
I've seen voltage regulators do that too. Some fail and no longer work and have also seen where they put out too much charge and cook the battery - Go figure?

Re: workhorse battery draining
Ok I've finally got around to charging the battery and testing with a voltmeter
and my findings are. battery 12.0v hooked up 11.9v half throttle 11.5v wot 11.6v Would that make it a Voltage Regulator thats draining the battery? |

Re: workhorse battery draining
Still 2 possibilities
 1. the regulator has failed 2. the generator has failed |

Re: workhorse battery draining
Yup - But I would say it is most likely the voltage regulator...

Re: workhorse battery draining
My 99 workhorse had the same problem. The guys on here said voltage regulator. I put one on. 11.8 volts before, 14.4 volts after. Problem solved. Thanks again!

Re: workhorse battery draining
Very rarely will it be the starter in this case. Order up a voltage regulator and I'll bet that fixes it
