    Steve, I just went thru this when I just replaced my odyssey 680(with another odyssey). They list the charging voltage at 14.2V and my bus voltage was 13.9V . Found out from a recent kitplanes article that some voltage regulators are adjustable and in fact mine was, so I was able to bump up the voltage to 14.2v. So I would check to see if the one you are currently using can be adjusted before spending the bucks on a new one. Bruce N199CL

    I'm currently using the stock regulator (I think ducanti) It's the same one my original 912ul engine came with back in 1994. I have the new one that came with the 912uls engine back in 2008 looks the same. I put that one in my tool box in case this one blows, but it keeps on ticking. lol

    after reading everything on the B and C regulator I'm going to order the new regulator for the Earthx. I ordered the ETX680C will be here Tuesday. I will order the B and C tomorrow and both will be put inside the cockpit on the firewall. thanks all.

    Sounds like you got it figured out, but just to clarify - the B&C unit is a direct replacement for the Ducati that you have now (which is not adjustable). It uses the exact same connector, has the same footprint, and is wired the same way.
