[AT] 630 handclutch and charging problem

[bwhdon]

Hows the lead from the starter to the battery, if the gauges is showing a
charge it's  going through the gauge then it must be going some where? and
should be following the cable up to the batt. to charge the battery. I think
you could put an amp meter at the negative post of the bat. and see if it's
making it up to the bat. ?
