Since the rebuild I have had a problem with the red charging indicator glowing, ammeter reading confirms a discharge and finally, the battery eventually goes flat.
I took off the generator and had it tested at an auto electric shop, suspecting my work since I had taken it apart and cleaned it, freeing up the stuck brushes and painting the case before putting it back on the care. In spite of my efforts, the generator produced lots of output, about 35 amps.
I changed the voltage regulator as a unit, using a spare I had in stock, still no improvement.
I purchased a rebuilt generator (correctly polarised) and installed that, still not working. Any simple explanations come to mind before I take it back to the electric shop for diagnosis?
Thanks, Simon.
