Re: Wesenberg EVR- voltage cycling problem

I want to put a mechanical voltage regulator on my car as you describe in your post. What would you suggest as the best way to run the wire from the 3 rd brush out of the generator?

Re: Wax in a generator?

I have been thinking that one of these regulators should work on a Model A. Have you done it? How did you handle the 3rd brush in the generator? Did you run a wire from the 3rd brush through the...

Re: Over Heating

Utopia Texas makes a good point about radiator fins. If the fins are not tight the radiator will not cool.

Re: Overheating cured by adding thermostat

Putting the thermostat close to the bottom of the radiator hose helps. Hold it in place with another hose clamp so it doesn't work its way to the top.

I've got one with a weak magnet. Does anyone know how to re-magnetize the circular magnet that drives the speed indicator?

Re: Speedometer Magnet

Thanks for the reply. When you say keep the same polarity, does that mean north pole to north pole and south to south? I thought it would be opposite that.

Re: Choosing a radiator

I had my radiator re-cored with excellent results by a shop in Salt Lake City for much less cost than buying a new one.
