alternator or dynamo??

[sharky71]

i might be in the market for a new charging unit,don't know whether i have bearings/brushes issue with the current dynamo.

if i do need a new one (what do i look for to tell if it is foooooked???) do you stick with a dynamo or change to an alternator?? :roll:

if i change to an alternator what do i need extra??
pedastal?pulley wheel?regulator?fuel pump?backing plates??

everything else in the current charging system is new,well 1500 miles old except the dynamo was secodhand.
can you get the dynamos refurbed by a local vehicle electrician or do you need to buy a new one? :|

regards.

defiantly an alternator a new pedestal, possible fuel pump sometimes you can use the old one, but I replaced mine and I also needed a carb spacer as carb sat too low and hit the alternator i think this would be all you need let me know if want some pics?

nearly forgot if you change your fuel pump you will need a different push rod for the fuel pump
