Hi all - Had a mostly successful drive from Chico, CA to the Brisbane British Car Show, near San Francisco, this weekend, about a 3 1/2 hour drive. Went down on Saturday. It ran a little hot (about 2
That would indicate that the cutout relay in the control box did not open as it should. Exactly right. Electrically, they are the same thing. When the engine turns the generator faster than it wants
The cutout relay opens up in response to large currents flowing into the generator when it comes to a stop. Since the generator never came to a stop there was no large current. And the lower lever of
If that had occurred your red ignition light should have remained lit after the ignition was switched off. Would have been pretty noticeable unless the dash was in full sun. _________________________
Could be, I guess, but it shouldn't take much current for the cutout to drop out. It has two windings, one for voltage and one for current; the current has to only match the voltage (and be opposite
Thanks for all of the help. I'll let everyone know what happens this weekend when I get a chance to work on the car. David Gunn> From: tr3driver@ca.rr.com> To: triumphs@autox.team.net> CC: ccgunn1010
True but the voltage driven pull-in coil has many windings but the current driven drop-out coil is only two or three. So it seems normal that it would take a fair amount of current to counter the vol
