Tom T, I'm hoping you can add some insight on this.   I suspected my
system wasn't charging so I took the alternator and starter off and had
them both tested, they are fine, and since there off I took the
precaution to have the regulator, brushes and contacts replaced.  Going
over the wiring diagram for the M30 They call out #10 wire with a 30 amp
fuse inline from the amp meter to the Starter Solenoid.  Knowing that a
regulator varies charge based on battery condition/charge and rpm isn't
a 30 amp fuse undersized, and why a fuse anyway, shouldn't the wire be
sized correctly to handle the highest load the system would see.
