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.

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 contact at higher rpms.I have a newly

rebuilt unit and they are available locally as many where used on Tractors and

Im in farm country. A decent alt/generator/starter shop should fix you up

cheaply. Least wise the chaps I use here are very fair. I recently had two

alternators from a S3 rebuilt - my generators but going on a friends S2. $35

each and nither worked prior to them opening them up- Im not sure what all

they did besides bearing in one but at todays prices I was happy. I can get

you a price on a unit here- not sure if its new or rebuilt BUT it would be

heavy to ship.

    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 ammeter

helps some too.



Take the cover off the regulator and make sure the points are not all

crusted up.



There are some regulator settings listed on page 20 of the Shop Manual.



I always seem to have some problems with the generator system on my Tiger so

I did an alternator conversion.

Now that my car is up and running again, I need to address those niggling

problems.



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 manual and there is not any info on how to correct this

nor do I have the test equipment described.



TIA!
