If the voltage at pin F was ~2v, then the field relay is open "should be closed with the engine off", and the field is being energized by a wirewound resistor that is placed across the field contacts "normal as it prevents contact arcing"

Read these carefully, They give detailed instructions on how to proceed with testing and adjustment. They also give the locations of each relay in the control box.

Now thats a real problem, as we all know, lucas electronics has its own electron theory, where electrons are not sub-atomic particles as we have been lead to believe. Electrons are in reallity, very small smoke particles, and after any given conductor or component has been liberated of all of its smoke, it is no longer functional.

I know that you all know the drill, but...

Generator = smoke pump. Contol box = smoke regulator/smoke temperature controler. Starter = smoke pressure to rotational rate converter. Battery = Smoke accumulator. Cables/wires = Smoke conduit "sometimes a fuse". Headlights = glass enclosure with really hot smoke inside. Switch = smoke valve. Relay = smoke actuated smoke valve. Fuse box = smoke volume limit device Alternator = "see generator"
