Good Morning Folks,
Here is the issue: 1946 9N, 6v pos gnd. belt tight, connections good, gen polarized. When running at +1/3 throttle ammeter ( new one ) shows discharge.
I used Bruce's a-circuit troubleshoot flow chart, and when I got to 'jumper fld term to gnd @ reg' the ammeter spiked up very high and stayed there untill I removed jumper. This would indicate a bad Regulator right? What's annoying is I just put this regulator in because the last one failed the prior flow chart step, ' jump bat and gen term of reg'.
I don't want to keep replacing voltage regulators if something else is causing them to fail. Any suggestions? can I repair my voltage regulator? I'll work on tuning my carb while waiting for your help. Thanks
