Just a final update.......I sent the gen and cutout to Steve Blancard in Virginia. Steve tested both and found issues with both the generator and the cutout. He repaired the generator and replaced the repro cutout with an original rebuilt. He sent along a few pics and a video of the generator...

yes, I have moved the third brush from min to max and still only have 3 volts on the gen output lug when in the max position. Have sent it along to Steve B for testing and rebuild Tim

Thanks for the suggestions. I used an analog and did see a slight increase in battery voltage from idle to fast idle. I checked the resistance of the cutout from output to case and output to input, both showed open circuit. I put a jumper from output to input while running and noticed a slight...

I started to notice 0 amps on the ammeter at idle or when running at 40 mph speed. I checked voltage at the cutout input side at a fast idle and was getting less than 1 volt. On the cutout output side full battery voltage. I slid the cover back on the generator and could see a wire had rubbed...

Bob, here are the #3 and #4 plugs, both a bit sooty around the perimeter but tan on the insulator

Hi Folks, Fairly new to the hobby, I have a '28 Tudor that was restored about 30+ years ago, which has been in the family for about 10 years. As a die hard tinkerer I like to take things apart (within skill level) and of course learn how they work. I've been searching the Barn for a bit now...
