My thanks to everyone for their replies.
I don't think the generator needs to be flashed as my father drove the '52
regularly while I was overseas, to include picking me up at the airport the
week before. At that time, when I drove it home from his house to mine in the
dark I noticed the charge light glowing faintly regardless of the rev range
and wrote it off to it being dark and me running the heater. A few days later
when I hopped in it was full-on red for the whole drive.
After digging out my manual from the basement, (thanks Charlie) it says to
connect a wire to the (removed) D and F wires on the Reg. Dave's helpful
article says to test both at the Gen's terminals and the Reg's D and F. Is
there a consensus on this?
Also, the manual says to test using the pos wire as ground on the volmeter, (I
have a digital). Is this true?
Again, thank you for all of the replies. Now I have to figure out why the
dizzy on my BGT doesn't have any spark...
Thank you again,
Scott Allen
