Went to start it just clicked. Boost it off ran fine parked it turned off so tried to restart would not start. Boosted it again check volts at battery was 11.75 so check ed at alternator 11.75. Do not no if it has built in regulator or external. It seems that alternator would be bad to me dont no need advice.

It should have a voltage regulator.

Firstly, your battery may be junk.and ground and power cables need to be removed and cleaned at both ends. Best suggestions i have, eliminate the obvious and cheapest first. Swap in a known good battery and retest battery voltage before and after starting. 1 volt above battery voltage is acceptable.

All of the above. It has an external regulator, but I would check fuses. I think there is one for the charging system.
