"Generator-Issues"
The Generator On Connie's 62' Isn't Charging. Generator Was Rebuilt With Bearings, Brushes & New Armature 2-Years-Ago. The Battery Was Recently Replaced, Is It Possible It Needs To Be Polarized? And If So Do I Arc The Field To The Battery Wire On The Voltage Regulator To Accomplish This?? Any Help From The Crafty-Veterans Would Be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks...............
Re: "Generator-Issues"
Can't hurt! Well, actually it CAN hurt, but only for a short while ! I seriously doubt that is the problem, though! DO NOT arc from field to battery terminals! Disconnect both wires at the regulator and touch them together momentarily.

Paul, What Do You Think Would Be Causing The Problem? The Voltage Regulator, Maybe A Bad Ground?? ...........Toyz wrote:I seriously doubt that is the problem, though!

Re: "Generator-Issues"
could be as simple as one of the brushes stuck in its cage,so as not to make contact with the armature

Yep, I was about to describe a lengthy procedure related to temperature compensation, etc.! Reality is, the voices of experience provided Step One!slick4x4 wrote:Yep...

Re: "Generator-Issues"
Really no need to carry a hammer; there is always a GM owner around with one wrapped up in a portable creeper, AKA carpet remnant!Shadow wrote:The Starter On My 65' VW Bug Had The Same Issue.
