No problems taking it off and having it and the battery retested. Could be since something isn't working right, I've killed the battery.

I might try the jump anyhow, just to see if I can make her give me all she's got. Right now all I can get out of her is a measley 12v

Thanks for the all the replies and certainly pics help out too

I'll probably pick up a regulator while at the parts store getting eveything checked out. Just want to make sure it'll crank before I let him take it to school or around town.
