What ever it is or what's its from I need to make it work correctly. How much do you adjust the third brush, I moved it about 1/4". Do you play with this looking at the meter while the car is running or off? I assume a wood dowel if while running. Why would the voltage start at 6.5 and keep climbing to 8.5 or more with no load. Car ammeter shows positive until I put the lights on, then it goes slight negative an stays there no mater what the rpm, pretty much like the voltage does the same.
