I thaught I'ld start new now that I know what to call it "WF 6511." Thanks for the info about the belt pully, it works! Still not getting any charge. A three position switch was mentioned but all I see is the "on\off" on the steering column. Am I looking in the wrong place? There just isn't that much wiring to deal with. Thanks again guys, I sure do appreciate the help. Happy Easter! Greg

Greg,
As JMS mentioned, the 3 position switch should be located in the Ammeter box. The switch is actually equipped with a flat 3ohm resistor. If your WF is not equipped with the 3 position headlight switch, we rebuild the OEM switches and offer them on exchange or outright. If it is equipped with the 3 position switch, make sure it is grounded correctly, and actually hooked up correctly to the gennie. If you need any help, just drop us a line, be glad to help you out with any information!

Under the gas tank on the WF, like on the WC, is a rectangular steel box with an ammeter guage and a pull switch. The switch has a rheostat in it, and when pushed fully in, the battery should charge at a low rate. Pulled halfway out, the lights should come on. All the way out, the charge rate goes to high. Lights should be on only in the middle position. The switch is available for replacement. With age, they often don't work. Perhaps a wire on the rheostat is broken. Old switches are also very sensitive to find that center position. If you get current with a tester in the middle position, and the lights don't work- check the wiring, bulbs, ground, etc. Your off-on switch near the steering wheel should be a magneto switch that stops the engine. Just shorts it out.

You refered to the engine switch on a WF which sounds identical to that of a newer WC's. I have two WC that were at one point in time converted to distributer, when this was done the kill lever was done away with and a toggle switch was installed. I know the kill lever runs to the same place as the choke, then a second rod is supposed to run to the mag. However I can figure out for the life of me how it was supposed to be origanly installed. I've looked at WC's and WF's at shows but most either are to old and have no in the seat shut off or they were converted from the mag and toggle switched. If you can tell me how it is supposed to be I'd be much obliged.
