Repolarizing it won't fix it.  Either the brushes are worn out or the regulator has failed.  Or maybe a wire connection is bad.   :-(

Hello Michael,

Take it to one of those places that does a free electrical system check. They'll tell you if it's charging or not... 

They'd like to sell you  a new genny if it's not, but won't have one.. .. LOLOLOL..

Gee, Moss has new ones and they are only $300.  Add shipping and tax and
you're heading for $350!  Rebuilding mine looks better all the time.

Hi Mike,

I'm running this unit in my Bugeye. It is an alt in a gen case and has 
the tach drive, looks just like an Original.

This is if you want to spend the money.
