Hi,
frustrated as all holy you know what at my 1952 8n. Bought it three years ago, rewired it right away with tractor supply wire harness. Been running it reliably (sans it flooding four times before starting when cold) by just charging the 6v battery for a few hours every10 or so hours of run time. Had enough and just pulled the generator and had it rebuilt by a theshop that did the starter and alternator on my boat.
hooked it back up...no charge, slight discharge with rear light on, big discharge when all 3 on. Jumpered battery and arm on VR to polarize and this shows discharge on ammeter when running to. No change attempting to ground VR case or Field to ground. Generator shows .24 volts running between large post on rear and ground....help! About ready to throw a new VR at it anyhow.
