Hi everyone, 34Rp, electrics I don't really understand.
My ignition light won't go out and the ammeter shows discharge when going 30mph. The last time I used it it was fine. I've looked at the commutator it's nice and clean and the brushes look OK , the brush that is visible from above is just skimming the commutator, if i push it further on it makes no difference. The cut out, when are the points meant to open and close ? If I rev the engine and manually push the points closed the light goes out but shows more discharge ?
Any ideas greatly received
