Hello Folks: I have a '47 pickup with a 235 / 12 volt upgrade....which has worked fine for many years. Recently, my ammeter gauge needle has been bouncing back and forth, more like a vibration than swinging. But still pretty large swings.
So far I have : - checked and cleaned the generator brushes and commutator
- cleaned the points on the regulator
- replaced the regulator
- cleaned all the ground points in the circuit back to bare metal
- checked all the connections for tightness in the circuit.
- checked the battery condition (good shape)
I think that only leaves the gauge itself as the problem. Can that be true ? Has anyone had this bouncing ammeter problem and solved it ?
Thanks for all your comments and ideas....as always.
