NEW starting problem

[1931 flamingo]

I pulled the connection off the LARGE post on the back of the gen and it still motors, it's a two post gen.
Does the other connection go to the regulator??
Thanks.

Hey Paul .....Let's start from scratch. Tell me about your VOLTAGE REGULATOR.

1....Does REGULATOR have THREE connection points?

2....If so, how is EACH one labeled? (BAT, GEN, FIELD) or (ARM, FIELD, BAT)?

3....I believe you said that your generator was a TWO-post generator. Does that mean that your Generator is marked with "FIELD" & "ARMATURE"?



Paul.....Please answer these questions carefully. Let's be precise, and NOT in a hurry!!

I'll be back after you verify the above, and we'll go from there. Put your glasses on & use plenty of light. DD


NEXT Time Around:





The FORD SYSTEM IS THE TYPE B CIRCUIT. Remove the field wire from the regulator and touch it over onto the B battery terminal for a second.
