Subject: [EXTERNAL] - RE: [TR] red light, huh?
1. Red light on - common problem with a rebuild. It is probably your voltage
regulator, but could be the generator.
[DT] ok, I have an alternator with a dummy control box?

But with the ignition switch set to off???? I would expect no power to be
flowing in the system?!?!?!?
2. Your amp gauge should be +ve when running, but then your charging function
isn't set up (red light on). Fix the charging system, then address the
ammeter. If it is still -ve, the wires are probably reversed.
[DT] yeap reversed, I do need to do that, looks like tonight?s job. The
question was more about the scale of the needle deviation, it was only slight,
not a large value
3. Best case scenario for the grinding clutch is adjustment at the pedal and
the slave: worse case - you don't have a clutch and need to pull the gearbox
[DT] hmmm, ok, going to assume adjustment and maybe master/slave rebuild?.
4. My rule of thumb is 60psi at 3000 rpm when warm, so higher with a cold
engine.
[DT] ok she is idling and was almost 180deg. Sooo good??? ?

Ok now the euphoria of the engine starting has passed ( well not really, this
is going to last a while ). Need to tackle a few more things:
* Hook up the battery and while the ignition is off the red dash light is
on all the time????
* I do need to switch over the amp gauge. While running, it is slightly
-ve ( which means slightly +ve ). This a good sign? Or should there be more
charging?
* While the engine was running, push in the clutch, the pedal moves, but
gears grinds touching to go into gear. I am assuming the slave is not
responding? There is fluif in the can ? ( still love that word )
* The oil pressure running on this ?break-in? oil is a solid 60psi. Does
this collective like that?
