West Peterson	Sticky voltage regulator points	#1
Home away from home Joined: 2007/11/16 13:51 Last Login : Today 12:45 From Dayton Group: Registered Users Posts: 2544	I have posed a question on my restoration blog in regards to my voltage regulator consistently sticking after long periods of non-use. Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated. https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4307&post_id=53422#forumpost53422 Posted on: 2010/5/26 9:06

There were (still are?) special abrasive "sticks" to clean and dress voltage regular points. You might try that, and then readjust the airgap afterwards. Posted on: 2010/5/26 10:03
