Howard, I have no idea what revs my Ruby is doing but at around 35 to 40 mph, having adjusted the third brush earlier it was running at a steady 8 amps.
Returned home and adjusted the third brush further and again at about the same speeds the ammeter was showing 6 amps, so is now in line with other comments on this thread and Duffield’s original article.
Interestingly I have just purchased a new battery and at the same time asked the dealer to check my old one, the first thing he checked was the acid which was a brown colour, his comment was that the battery has been overcharged and forming Hydrogen Sulphide-and was shot. This was after I had already purchased the new one, so he had nothing to gain at that stage, so that is what’s prompted this thread and resulting adjustment.
