Now that my car is up and running again, I need to address those niggling My generator drops off line over ~3800 rpm. If I let the engine return to idle it comes back on line. I took a look at the ma

I'm sure you have looked at this but be sure the belt is properly tightened, if slipping at 3800 rpm the voltage will fall off. A voltmeter is really all you need to measure what's going on, an amme

Duke- About the only thing I can think of that would allow the gen to drop out at higher rpms are the brushes are about worn out or one of the brush springs is so weak it allows the brush to loose co

Sounds to me like the Voltage Limiter relay.. Fig 15 in the shop manual. How high is the VOLTAGE when it drops off line? Simple adjustment. Gary -- Original Message -- To: rfraser@bluefrog.com Cc: Be

LOTS of good advice coming thru about Generators and Voltage Regulators. Most refer to the "Shop Manual". For those who do not have their copy handy, it is at: http://www.tigersunited.com/resources/

The most obvious place to look is the tension on the drive belt. On a generator, these have to be set JUST right -- the jawbone solution is that it should deflect about a quarter of an inch on its lo

Hey TtT, I did a check of the Generator and it looks to be in just about new condition. The bearings are new and the brushes are thick and have good springs. When the gen drops off line I get the red

Fan belt tension is good. Makes me think though...I have a smaller pulley on the water pump to spin the fan faster. This will also spin the generator faster. Could this be a factor? Thanks for all th

The faster pulley on the water pump won't alter the generator speed. They are independent of each other. The generator RPM is dictated by the size of the crank pulley and the generator pulley. So, wh

It does sound like this is the problem. You need a volt/ ohm meter to see what the voltage is doing. Ron Fraser Sounds to me like the Voltage Limiter relay.. Fig 15 in the shop manual. How high is t
