Re: Adjusting Generator 3rd Brush
I put the cutout back on and it still doesn't seem to be charging right. Something bad must happened when I adjusted the brush. So I will go from there.
Thanks guys!

Re: Adjusting Generator 3rd Brush
I show a large discharge when I have the lights on instead of a slight charge like the directions show. It is new purchased from Macs.

Re: Adjusting Generator 3rd Brush
With the old cutout it would show a good charge (10 to 15 amps) at fast idle without the lights on. So I think the generator should be ok.

vacuum wiper motor
Can't seem to turn it all the way off or on. It will go but not return, if I have it on or off. So it is always straight down. Rebuild kit fix it up?

Re: 6V Pos Charger/Starter
I just asked the question wrong. I should have asked if polarity mattered when jumping the car and it looks like it doesn't.
