<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">before jumping to the regulator, I suggest that you check the generator output first.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">Disconnect the leads from the dynamo. Then connect a voltmeter from D to ground. Run engine and check if the voltmeter gives you a reading. If no: polarize the dynamo! If you see about 3-6 V: Connect
a cable from battery + to the field terminal F momentarily. If you get a 12V reading, rising when you speed up the engine, all is well. Than check the regulator!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">My personal view is, that new regulators are a complete piece of junk. Either buy original Lucas NOS or convert your Lucas regulator to electronics. I bought three (!) regulators. No .1 did not work,
No.2 did not work. No.3 worked well for two hours and then smoked the brand new armature of my dynamo… With the the electronic regulator I am very happy, no glowing of the charge light at idling speed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I have checked the wiring and that appears to be correct. As the regulator is NOS, methinks that the generator is not generating.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As far as I know it’s a standard generator as fitted to the early six-cylinder cars. What about new brushes? Any instructions out there for this electrically
challenged person? The car is still positive earthed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
