Everyone likes a success story--right? I've posted with a number of problems about getting my 49 SC to run right, with throttle up and to stop burning points. I explored a lot of options and finally discovered that the alternator with external regulator to be the problem--putting out high voltage that went through the resister and the coil and points. It was too much juice for the old baby and she rebelled. Who can blame her? I put on a new alternator with an internal regulator and started it up and "shazam" I had me a ball wheeling my tractor down the road (YIPPEE!!!)throttled up for the first time since I bought her in August. I know all out there who've had similar challenges can identify with the elation one feels in moments like these. Thanks for the input--all you who responded to my plight. It was a guy at Napa who finally got me on this path of too much voltage and the alternator being the problem. The thought had entered my mind, but I always dismissed it, thinking that if the alternator was overcharging it should only affect the battery, but such is apparently not the case in the "Case" world. If anyone is having a similar problem--this is definitely something to check early in the investigation.

I had the same problem but caught it early when the amp gauge stayed pegged

I suppose if my amp guage had been hooked up, I might have checked out the charging system, but I had a new guage, but hadn't hooked it up yet. I still need to do that. Do you know how that's wired? Does one wire come from the alternator terminal(Bat.) to the ammeter and one from key switch pole to ammeter? Appreciate any help here.

Mike,

Looks like you've got yourself a real challenge. Everyone in suspense about unsticking those pistons. Thanks for the plans--have not arrived yet. Now that I have her running good, I plan to take off the radiator and see if I can get at that coupling crank receiver that dropped off and "pin" it back in place.

Regards, Gerald
