The volt meter reads 18 to 19 volts when running. I put my meter on batt. when running and reads 14.4 volts. Can I have a bad gauge or is there something else wrong? I also put in a new batt.
 
Put your volt meter on the volt gauge and see what it reads. I don't think you have an issue because 14.4 at the battery with the engine running is good.
 
Hi Rick I did what you told me to try. On the back of the volt gauge with just the key on I had 12.77 volts. Started motor and it went to 14.3 took it up to 2000 rpm's and went to 14.5 volts. The gauge was reading over 19 volts. Thanks for all the help. Think it's time for a new gauge.
