When it is running normal, not in reverse, is the voltage indicator on the right side of the gauge at full strength? If not, that is an indicator that the voltage regulator is having issues.

On the belt guard, at the very back, there is a bolt with the ground wires under it. Take the nut off and polish the wire connectors and alum and bolt it back down to make sure you have a good ground.
