I was amazed what a good condition the commutator segments were in on the starter! Rain all day forecast for Sunday so I may try pulling the charging alternator off for inspection. The remote regulator is a CAV 440a which I think is a 60 or possibly 80 amp unit. it has three wires from the alternator (3 phases presumably) but oddly also has a lead going off to a sensor in the head water jacket, as well as a pair to the remote charging ammeter which are understandable. All it's connections are pretty nasty and corroded. |

Or maybe it limits the output until the engine is up to temperature? Looks like your pressure washer needs a wash too! (Mine does as well - it's still covered in pigeon crap from when we moved in here 3 1/2 years ago!) |

Ade, the 'pressure washer' is a two tool road air compressor, but yes it does need a bit of TLC :lol: |
