Got into my Bugeye yesterday to drive to the dog park with my Boston
Terrier. I was a little surprised when the ignition light would not go out
after I got the engine running. It started easy enough, but I was now
running on the battery. I am still using a generator that was rebuilt over
20 years and 7,000 miles ago. The voltage regulator was converted to solid
state eight or more years ago. Nothing apparent looking under the bonnet.
I was hoping it was just the fan belt. No such luck. Generator, generator
brushes? I have a replacement generator, but I don't want to just start
throwing parts at it until the light goes out. Maybe try to just
re-polarize the generator first? I have a degree in mechanical design, not
electrical. Hate electrical problems.
