Hi the engine light has come on
My 24v after charging the battery the book says it’s the fuel cutout been triggered and to reset it,done that the light is still on but if I rev it up goes off then back on as revs die down ,like it’s a alternator light not charging anyone else come across this.🤷🏻‍♂️

Simple things first check you drive belts

2nd check the voltage at the battery with the engine running, should be 14.5v

Hi had a look at how to remove the alternator from my 24v m reg probe,can I remove it with out moving the air compressor or is it better to remove the radiator to take it out.🤷🏻‍♂️
