greetings all, I have read and read until my eyes went blurry, I have a 1941 9n 6v system. For the last couple of years after re wireing I've been able to go out and fire the ole girl right up no problems. Seems to never read on the amp gauge, all up until recently I've had a dead battery. I pulled the battery out, and recharged it for a good day. After putting it back in it fired right up. Checking battery voltage I was only getting 6.24 wot. I suspect this isnt charging, so last night removed the hood for easy access to wireing, noticed that the starter cable looked a little ugly, and has worn through the original insulation. Planning on replacing that, looked online at jmor wiring diagram, and on the resistor behind the dash it shows on diagram that it has more then two wires on it. Mine only has 2 wires coming off of it. Could this be an issue? Also i would like to bench test the generator, to make sure it motors. It has one wire, and then on case it has 2 studs with a jumper wire on them. Looks to have the 3rd brush adjustment. Input on testing generator? I love the old 6v system due to the fact its original, and it makes people scratch their heads when its 0 degrees and she fires up. Planning on restoring in a year, along with engine rebuild. The oil pressure barely registers after warm...thats another story. Thanks for all the input, i love this site!
