Generator is not charging sufficiently. Was it at idle or at full speed? Those generators back then were pretty marginal..add to it that you really don't tension the fanbelts like you do today.
If the light is on at idle but off at higher RPMs, that is perfectly acceptable.

Thanks Rob. It stays lit at cruising speed . So i have a charging problem . I will check the tension on the fanbelt and report back . Also , i installed the blanking board in front of the radiator and the temp eventualy made it to 170 degrees . Is that a good operating temperature in winter in your opinion ? Cheers.
