There was a condensor on the Bosch generator on my 71 Ambo. When I was
chasing charging gremlins around it last spring I attempted to get a new
"generator condensor" from MG cycle. It was not a familiar item to
them, I ended up removing it. I convinced myself it could have been
something Bosch put on a certain run of generators, possibly for a
different application, and some of them ended up in Mandello. No
apparent charging problems without it for about 4000 miles.

I installed an alternator on a friend's bike Friday and was surprised to see that a condenser was attached to it and wired in. Anyone else ever seen this? What was its function? I've been installing alternators on several local machines to be sure that they fit them all, and it has been very instructive. You can't believe the variation in deck height and placement I've seen on the five different bikes (two Eldos, two Ambos, and one V700) on which I've put them. We had to change the design a bit to make them bolt right onto all. We're now cranking out these brackets and will be shipping soon. GF |
