Well maybe its fixed, I think I'm getting some charge. I bought a second used Generator and installed it. I also followed this link polarising-a-dynamo.php to polarize it. I'm going to have the new generator I purchased tested and see if I had incorrectly polarized it or it was bad. The new...

Hello Ok, I've done some working on the rover. 1st. To answer question number one, yes I'm negative earth. 2nd. I have polarized again to verify was done correctly. 3rd. For your third step I have a few question. The first part I did and I'm getting a good reading in the range between...

Thanks for the reply, yes I have negative earth vehicle. I'm traveling and once back I'll give that a try.

Hello and thanks for all the information. Here is the current status. I did polarize the dynamo by just touching a few times the small tab on dynamo to the positive of the battery (maybe I should try again). The small tab is a bit loose where it attaches to the dynamo wondering if that could...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has every seen this situation. I have a 1969 Series 2a with a new bench tested Generator (dynamo), battery also tested good. Start the motor charging light goes out. Increase engine RPM and charging light brightness slowly increases in relation to engine rpm. I...

Thanks I'll look at starting a new thread.

I'll check the belt again but seemed correct before. I have measured it but I'll do some more testing and see what the results are.

I have a separate voltage regulator and generator set up. No welding but hook up in wrong way always maybe possible. I'm only had the truck for 6 months not sure what happened before. It does seem to work in reverse oddly.

Hello, I have a similar situation. Series 1969 2a with a new bench tested Generator (dynamo), battery also tested good. Start the motor charging light goes out. Increase engine RPM and charging light brightness slowly increases. I have changed out the voltage regulator to a new old stock...

The generator was bench tested and was hoping for alternate possibility. If there are any suggestions out there, thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the exact same problem with my 1969 Series 2a with new rebuild Generator (dynamo). What did you find was the problem?
