- VN V8 - Offroad Buggy
HI Guys
I have a V8 Vn engine in my off road race buggy.
I have everything wired through a negative earth kill switch, (one side of the switch is wired directly to the battery the other side to every earth in the buggy even the block. All the positives go from the battery to some fuses and realays
I had a old alternator that I never wired up as it was not working properly.
I have just purchased a 120 amp one ,
I wired it up to go directly to the battery, it worked perfectly, 14.5 volts, 12.5 volts at idle.
The problem is it wont tun off, I turn the kill switch off and it kept going. I had to earth out the battery to the chasiss to stop it (happend as an accident when I was removing the battery).
I remove the lead going to the new alternator and it starts and stops fine when I turn the kill switch.
We have tried earthing out the alternator, this did not stop when I turned the kill switch off.
Do any of you guys have an idea if what is going on?
One of the auto guys said that I should run a wire from the alternator (screw under the main supply lead) to 2.2 watt globe and to my ignition system?
Let me know what you think as i am confused.
Thanks and looking forward to your replies and ideas.
