 Re: New Mechanical Mini Gauges Installed On My ISKI G-174 Ampmeter Problem ?
Actually, you are far better off with a voltmeter than an ammeter.
1. No high current behind the dash.
2. ~13.6 Volts when engine is running = system working, less = system not working.
3.A voltmeter can use 16 or 18 gauge wire with no problem.
If you really did install an ammeter, how large are the wires you used? They need to be rated for the full charging amperage of the alternator, which is a lot bigger than most people use. Another question is what is the size of the ammeter? If it isn't rated for high enough current, you are buying trouble.
