Wow! 90vdc? How and where did you measure that?

Wow is right.
Do you have a generator or an alternator?
Are you sure you are not reading the Air Pressure Guage?

Is it a 100 amp alt or gen?

duece alt.

i have a tm manual, that said measure the output at the alt. with headlights on and the eng. @ 12oo rpm. i noticed the batt. imediatly boiling out of the caps so i disconnected it. thanks for all you replys.

Sounds like the regulator is fried. Don't run it like this much, it will fry many, many expensive gauges in the process. Replace the regulator, and it will more than likely be A-OK!
