Re: 1939 model 91a charging

It does not look like one of those four. The engine mount is similar but there is no device mounted on the top.

Re: 1939 model 91a charging

Thanks for the suggestion about testing at the gauge. Will give it a try if I can maneuver sufficiently to access the terminal. Might try to reach up there and hook on with an alligator clip lead.

Re: 1939 model 91a charging

Thanks for responding. The voltages at the battery at idle & fast idle (no tach but guessing around 2000RPM) are essentially the same - 6.87/6.89. The regulator is the newer rectangular version as...

With the ignition switch on & before starting the engine, the battery gauge needle does NOT rise above the lower mark on the gauge. The engine must be at a sustained high idle to even keep the needle...
