I've learned that the 6 v systems are very stubborn when it comes to clean terminals & connection points . I have to remove all connections , clean them until they shine , smear some dielectric grease on every connection point & reassemble . Also the VR has to be putting out at least 7.3 amps back into the battery to keep it charged ; so you might check that also . Check all wires for cracks. What I do at least once a year is remove the VR & genny , then take them to an auto electrical repair shop & have them checked & mated . Also to let you know , I run a 8 v battery & have the VR tweaked so it puts 9.6 amps back into my battery . The 8 v gives better lighting & faster start ups . That was the best move I could've made about 7 yrs ago . I have a Ford 640 & a 8n Funk conversion running with 8 v batteries with no problems . I did have to replace 1 headlite & 1 battery after 5 yrs though . Not bad aah ? HTH ! God bless, Ken

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
