Info needed: Morris C8 dynamo problem

[pauldavies]

Hi Richard and Mike and thanks for the info, had another play with the control box today and I have narrowed the problem down to the Voltage Regulator which seems to have fused together all bar one terminal, I was thinking of going through the resetting but it would seem it's a lost cause. I have a couple of options and may take the thing to them in the morning, one of the options may put in a modern option in rather than the old type. Using the old external box is a good option Richard and I will let you know how I get on.

Took the Control Box to two different leco's today and one took on the task of checking it over so took my spare dynamo with it and hope he can isolate the problem on the bench. Be good to get a modern equivalent or something close but the one electrician I thought would be good wasn't, Oh well keep trying.
Will keep you posted.

Hi everyone and good news on my dynamo problem, the young guy at the local auto electrics put the dynamo and control box on his "old" test rig and after adjusting the "cut-out" all was good. I have just come back from there after he showed me the whole thing on the test rig and it is good to know a young guy knows about old stuff like this. , Will put it back on the C8 in the morning.
