how does one check the voltage regulator adjustment ? the manuel statwes there eas a exchange program in 1952 so when the thing blinked out one just got a new one installed .
mines a new one from max merrit .I didnt understand how to do the initial de static thing on initial installation in the directions ,I have adry cell 6 v battery ,,i wonder if that is the sourse of the problem ,
it seems to work fine .the concept of overcharging making the light go on is facinating ,I guess first it would be easy enough to go to the mechanic shop on a day off ,put the voltage meter on the generator and rev the engine and see if there is a drop .
what rpm do you suppose is 60 mph?
Ive always wondered if anyone made a 6 volt positive ground tack I could mount in the passenger compartment just to know how fast the old flat head was spinning
oh come to think of it Max merrit guys said it wasnt actually a packard generator ,it was some other kind ,they had their rebuilder fix it anyway and sent it back to me .hmm the mystery continues!!
