I'm going to rewire all three wires as the existing wires have been spliced and it's important to have a continuous wire to avoid amperage drops ..read more

If the throttle is yanked open and the accelerator pump is brought into play the... Cv carb lean on gentle acceleration ..read more

I've been going over some charging system components and found the following. With the regulator removed (rubber plug pulled off) I got a reading of 0.5 ohms and with digital voltmeter got a bouncing AC voltage from what looked like 19 to 12 volts when running.

All I see is to change it with a known good one.... Testing 77 shovel stator qustion ..read more
