Hi all,
Under the category of "if it's not one thing, it's another", went for a
ride today and after about half an hour, the red light came on and stayed
on, so I husseled myself back home as quick as I could.
Actually, it would dim if I got the revs up high enough, which led me to
believe it was more than a loose wire. The ammeter seemed to stay pretty
much neutral the whole time, not charging and discharging only with turn
signals.
I know I have to get a volt meter and check it out properly, but what else
could it be? Voltage regulator???
Assuming it is the generator, should I throw in some new brushes or convert
to an alternator? Can I convert with a straight bolt on without having to
fabricate any new parts? I remember some posts on the subject referring to
a machine shop.
I did read the VTR manual on conversions, the electrical conversion looks
easy enough.
As alway, your individual and collective wisdom is much appreciated.
Bob
