ok, so the alts running and good, but the car wont start up, as if the battery ran dead.
i run the car all day, turn it off, and after like 15 o r 20 min, i try to start the car again, but nothing, i turns over a couple time, and after that it drains the battery after what i'd say is like 3 or 4 attepts at starting. and i have to jump start it or push start it. the alts putting around 13.5v, and if i check the battery it reads around 12.5v. is this normal?

also, can any one provide wiring diagrams, the problem is my car used to be FI and was turned to a carb setup, problem is theres wires and connectors all over the place and some of them are creating shorts, which was the problem to start with, but i want to completely remove anything that isn't necesary and just leave all essential cables. but i need to know what is what. its a 1987 cabriolet karmann edition.

thanks in advance to all
