Default Re: Generator Third brush Adjustment

Adjusting the third brush which is on top of the generator opposite the oil cap with the dash ammeter is not a good idea, it should be adjusted separately or by an auto electrician on a their machine to 10 amps. I have fitted a " Fun projects" regulator which works very well on my 32 generator and set it at no more than 14 amps on the dash ammeter as they recommend, and I have found the generator was getting extremely hot, and I have just about burnt it out, because those 32 generators do not have any fan blades on the pulley and there are no vents in the casting on front of the generator, so at the moment it is at the auto electrician being set a 10 amps as I do not do much night driving anyway.
