Thanks for the advice. The cut-out seemed to work as specified when I
conducted the test... operating w/i the voltage range and the amps swinging
up & down more or less as described.
I did find the connections at the dynamo to be very poor. This could be a
result of the problem rather than the cause as they may well have been
'cooked' one of those times when the ignition light stayed on.
As an experiment I adjusted the cut-out screw 1/4 turn CCW. One manual
declined to say how to adjust it, the other explained the result of CW vs
CCW and said to only move it a small amount (but didn't say how much is
'small'). The quarter turn did not make a noticeable difference in the
readings so I will see if the problem recurs, gets better or gets worse.
Not too scientific but at least I'll have more data and no real harm should
occur as I am the only one who drives the car and will conscientiously watch
that light.
