Well so much for science! The best shade tree mechanics know the most
important tool outside of knowledge is your credit card,the hammer comes
in third place.
Another tool is to excite the field coils by applying DC + voltage to
the field coil terminal (DF/67 on the Marrelli) If the generator is
functioning you should have a considerable voltage increase at the
armature pole of the generator and an ammeter in the battery lead should
show positive current flow. It is best to apply the voltage thru a
suitable rheostat ,6 volts on the field should get you pretty good
output.

My headlight went off while riding a few weeks ago. Smacked the crap
out of
it going down the road and it came back on. Searched wiring for 2 hours

afterwards and could find anything wrong. Hope it don't happen again!!
At
least I don't ride at night. Guess a rewiring is in the plans for this

winter.

Well, I poked, sanded, cleaned, sprayed, and even talked nicely to the
Marelli regulator from my '69 Ambo and it's still dead as the proverbial
doornail.
Anybody gots one they want to get off of? Gotta be a Marelli, Bosch
won't work.
Thanks,
