Or the control box?  Since that is the only thing to have changed…..

I just saw something I missed:  if the ignition light is on with the ignition off, you have wired something wrong.  With the ignition off, the live wire is the brown-blue which runs to the ignition switch - all the white wires should be dead.  Check your wiring and the switch itself.

1. Red light on - common problem with a rebuild.  It is probably your voltage regulator, but could be the generator.
[DT] ok, I have an alternator with a dummy control box…

But with the ignition switch set to off????  I would expect no power to be flowing in the system?!?!?!?

2. Your amp gauge should be +ve when running, but then your charging function isn't set up (red light on).  Fix the charging system, then address the ammeter.  If it is still -ve, the wires are probably reversed.
[DT] yeap reversed, I do need to do that, looks like tonight’s job.    The question was more about the scale of the needle deviation, it was only slight, not a large value

3. Best case scenario for the grinding clutch is adjustment at the pedal and the slave:  worse case - you don't have a clutch and need to pull the gearbox
[DT] hmmm, ok, going to assume adjustment and maybe master/slave rebuild….

4. My rule of thumb is 60psi at 3000 rpm when warm, so higher with a cold engine.
[DT] ok she is idling and was almost 180deg.  Sooo good??? 😊

Ok now the euphoria of the engine starting has passed ( well not really, this is going to last a while ).  Need to tackle a few more things:

  *   Hook up the battery and while the ignition is off the red dash light is on all the time????
  *   I do need to switch over the amp gauge.  While running, it is slightly -ve ( which means slightly +ve ).  This a good sign? Or should there be more charging?
  *   While the engine was running, push in the clutch, the pedal moves, but gears grinds touching to go into gear.  I am assuming the slave is not responding?  There is fluif in the can 😊  ( still love that word )
  *   The oil pressure running on this ‘break-in’ oil is a solid 60psi.  Does this collective like that?
