I got a 1962 235 with 12V - so all engine matters relate to the 1960 manual.

Interesting - I just got back from a short trip and it suddenly started charging for a minute, then stopped again.

So, I just replaced all three wires from the generator to the regulator - still no charging.

I grounded the field terminal of the generator - still no charging.


With a running engine and an AC voltmeter from ground to the Armature terminal of the generator, I do get rising millivolts with rising rpm, but no DC voltage at all.

That really does look like I have to inspect the (remanufactured and never used) generator.

How many more times do I have to buy a reman. part only to find it doesn't work properly? frown
I went through 3 fuel pumps, same thing, in previous years....before ending up with one that lasts for 2 years so far... :rolleyes:
