Thanks for working with me on this. I do not understand what you are saying to me.
I am measuring a 2 volt drop, I think. Again, my electronics is weak. I don't know if I am properly measuring anything but I am very clear about what I did. I do not know if what I did makes sense. But to me it shows what is going to the Voltage Regulator.
I put a the red prob on the RIGHT side of the Resistor/ballast contact and the black prob on the battery (-) and got a little over 6V.
I then put the red probe on the LEFT side of the Resistor/ballast contact and the black prob on the battery (-) and got a little under 4V.
If there is something else to check, please let me know. Should I probe at the coil?
I did notice a 1/2 volt drop that I did not expect. I think I am losing a 1/2 through the key/ignition switch. I probed a little ove 6V when I hit the HOT terminal at the bottom of the ballast/resistor (this is the 3rd terminal on the bottom of the ballast resistor which is always hot and not keyed). When I probed the the new hot terminal that I moved off of the right terminal of the ballast resistor (which I had to move because we were changing this to go to ground) which is keyed, I lost about 1/2 a volt.
I believe with the 6 volt EI, every 1/2 volt is important. Not sure.
Any thoughts as to what I should check? Is a 2 volt drop caused by the resistor too much? Will the EI work with 4 volts going to it?

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming.
