Many thanks to all the responses I have received about my clutch
adjustment dilema. I will post the final fix to the net. Meanwhile.....
another problem I noticed on my "shake-down" cruise is that the
ignition light is dim but never goes out. Removing the load and
jumpering the generator leads I seem to have enough voltage (>16v).
However I only get about 6v out of the voltage regulator reguardless
of generator RPM. I have the early 9-post regulator. I have
done a visual inspection - both coils look ok, and nothing seems
burned or broken. I have cleans both sets of contacts to no avail.
Can anyone give me some ideas on what might be wrong or how to
troubleshoot this regulator problem. If it were a 5-poster, I would
simply buy a new one but the cost of a 9-poster makes me want to
see if I can dig around in with my meter to see if I can fix this baby before
I apply for a home equity loan. Does anyone out there repair 9-post
regulator? Again..thanks in advance...Joe Holtslag
