Re: Mike's 53 Caribbean

I was taking my daughter to Kindergarten this morning in the caribbean, and noticed that my battery lamp Was on at idle and would slowly go out when I gave the engine some rpms. Voltage Was also around 6, and not 7.4 or so....I removed the Generator this evening and found that one bolt to the lower mount Was missing, and when I removed the old brushes, one of the wires fell out of the brush itself!
I replaced the brushes as shown in the below picture. Should I be careful about the copper wire from the brush not to Touch the housing of the generator?
If there is anything I should do in Addition to re-polarizing the Gen, I would appreciate a hint. Thanks!
