Breaking the ground would stop the car with a generator. If I thought about
it, I could shut off the generator before the test. I wired the field through
one of the stock TR pull out switches on the dash.
I was thinking about doing the same thing with the one wire alternator, but
these switches may not be able to carry the higher current. Does anyone know
of a heavier duty switch like this? I have one for the ignition switch, which
I took out of a junker. I can't seem to find these switches in any auto parts
store.
I believe that I found why my engine ran away. One of the floats had some
gasoline in it allowing fuel to leak through into the engine. I replaced it
with another old original float. I assume that the after-market floats are
still
no good?
