Adjust-abling 700 1989

This applies ONLY to separate regulators, both alternator and generator, and NOT to
solid-state regulators and is NOT a mod. In most mechanical regulators there is
a spring-loaded contact controlled by a coil (like a relay).
Doing whatever it takes to tighten the spring's action will increase the output.
DO NOT do this without a meter to check the results and it might be good to
disconnect power from the system on your first experience with this adjustment.
NOTE: This is an unauthorized adjustment. It has worked for me (usually) but
your results may vary. I take no responsibility for your use of this suggestion.
