Hi Rocky,
How nice to have an engine that is oil-free on the outside. Watch out
for rust.
The front seal I purchased from Moss worked fine first time in, w/o
the speedy sleeve or any thing else done to the pulley. Whatever the
cause, it's good to have the leak ended.
The ammeter should jiggle a bit as the regulator's points snap open
and closed to regulate the current, but it's just a jiggle, a small
amount. I have seen major spikes of the needle when the ground wire from
gearbox to chassis was loose. I tested it by rigging another ground from
a bolt on the engine somewhere to chassis. That resolved the spiking, and
confirmed the ground at gearbox to be at fault.
