here we go again.

what would cause the brush retaining spring on the field side terminal to melt? everything is fine for the first five to ten minutes and then something just goes south. very frustrating!

this is just another chapter in the continuing saga of 6 volt pergatory that i have been going through with my charging system. what should i do? i really want to stay with the 6 volt system so do i just shelve the existing generator and take the plunge and buy one from jim carter or some other source that will probably cost me an arm and a leg?

getting to the end of my rope. any advice welcomed!
