<p>Hi Jim,</p>
<p>Well, I use the car a lot during the warm season, driving it
every few days, so my thought is that it's more likely the
commutator and/or brushes, and maybe defective windings. The date
code on the things is 4-60 so it's from 1960 I guess..<br>

In any case, when I run the engine with the
generator windings tied together and
disconnected from the car's wiring, I get
about 12 volts DC. If I rev the engine to 3000
RPM, the voltage doesn't rise. That seems to
me to indicate a flaky generator.</font></div>

<div>Maybe a bit late but has the thing been sitting for
a while ...If so, the generator may just need to be
polarized...<br>
