[Mgs] Charging Problems

[mgbob at juno.com]

   You wrote that all was good before changing the polarity. Did you mean that
the dynamo was charging as it should, then, but not now?
   If it worked properly then, and you sparked/polarised it, then it should b
ok now.
   I suspect the control box. Clean its points and see if the problem is
solved.
   There are many designs for multimeters. Set yous up for DC, and use a range
that is greater than 15V, 0-20 scale would be better, if your meter has it.

Dear Sages of the List, (Lawrie Alexander)



Ever since I followed detailed instructions about going from a positive
ground
to a negative ground in my TF the ammeter has been showing a discharge. Yes,
I
did reverse the wires on the back of the ammeter. All was good prior to the
switch. It seems to be holding it's own while just the engine is running. As
soon as I turn on the headlights I show a fair discharge. I would love to use
a multimeter to check the generator output prior to taking it out. I do have
a
multimeter but so many placesB (6) to plug in the probesB on the multimeter.
and so many settings on the dial. I get somewhat cornfused. Any help out
there. Any troubleshooting advice would be very much appreciated.B
