Hello Rich,
I am little late with my reply to your generator/regulator problem, as I was
offline during the weekend. I had a similar problem, when I had rebuild the
generator of my BN1 some years ago. I did the rebuild by my own and I fitted
the four brushes 900 twisted, which caused the symtoms you describe. You can
check this, when you run the generator as a motor. You need to take the
generator out of the car and connect the D an F terminals together and connect
with a battery. The generator should run like a motor. But if you put the
brushes 900 wrong, then the pulley turns in the wrong direction, not like it
was driven by the engine when installed. You can change the polarity and it
still runs in the wrong direction. You get the right direction, when you move
the brushes 900. So just move the brushes to brush holders 900 back or forth.
Hope you understand what I want to say. Sorry, English is not my mother
tongue.
Cheers,
Josef Eckert

Hello all,
I have a BN2 here with a freshly rebuilt generator and a new RB106 regulator.
Both have been bench tested and the regulator contacts cleaned and dressed,
and the regulator bench set by my rebuilder. Everything has been polarized for
Positive earth.
I installed all the above into the car and started the engine. The generator
is charging properly. The ignition light will not go out, but in fact as the
revs are increased, the charging indicator light glows brighter until it burns
out!
What is happening here? Everything worked fine on the bench under varying
loads. I'm rather gun shy of monkeying with the regulator as once upon a time
I caused an instant and nasty harness melt down.
