Hi Dad,

Seems that no one has much info on the generator, we should go to Canada and take a look at Barry's

Generator M5
 

HELLO ALL OUT THERE
The generator is now fully working thanks to my son who soon spotted the problem DIRTY SLIP RINGS ETC so we are up and running with 500volts to play with. since getting this generator i have located just two more one in ONTARIO and one in NEW HAMPSHIRE USA. I wonder if there are any more around

Another of M5 generator
 

Hi Vic

Just thought you would like to know that I just aquired a M5 generator. Two of them turned up in New Hampshire this summer one in mint condition and the one that I had written you about. I ended up with the one needing some work.

Cheers more later.

HELLO PHIL
Thats interesting finding another one M5 that is how much is missing on yours i still have the 6 volt dynamo to find
but made the lifting eyes thanks to barrys measurments. it runs well now i altered the fuel outlet from the tank as it was level with the tank bottom and was blocked so extended the pipe up inside the tank so as not to use the last drop of fuel i had to solder a new piece of metal on top of the roter arm as someone had a piece of tin there . its now in the back of my C15 .

Very complete
 

Hi Vic

Unit is very complete, including what appears to be all the loose bits still had the manufactures packing slip. I will scan in and post the shipping list. Only missing a couple of bits that the person I got it from to get the other one generating. It is missing one resistor that sets the field voltage. It will almost run, stuck valve appears to be one intake as it keeps firing back into the intake.

Started a web search on M5 Generator and it has some interesting trails to look at.


Cheers
