[QUOTE="ronmidg, post: 160377, member: 540"] The generator light has been flickering recently and now is on all the time. Its a suitcase motor so carbs and covers off to get at the alternator. Removing the right carb revealed a not connected black wire which I labelled as off the rectifier when I had the engine out about 400miles ago. :oops: Oddly the rebuild was charging ok for about 300 miles. Reconnecting and rebuilding still have the generator light on. So the question is what have I cooked, the rectifier or the alternator, or both? [/QUOTE]
