Hoping someone has an answer ! My generator stopped charging, cleaned, put in New brushes, replaced field coils, cleaned armature, new diode cutout. Polarized it, when I first start engine it will show amperage on the car gauge , At idle ! a little more rpms and it will go to 15 to 20 amps. Then it seem like a thermal breaker or something just shuts it off and won't come back up until I do a complete shut down and restart ???????? I have also cleaned battery connections, disconnected light switch from steering column to try to avoid any possible shorts. But no difference. Thank you for any idea's!
