CAV control box issues and Fuses....

[rmgill]

Two problems...

One, Vandal has a charging system problem.

The generator is getting 2 or less volts on field current and not putting out any voltage. It does put out voltage if I jumper B+ to Field for a moment, upwards of 20 volts (I don't do that for very long).


Two, in the process of troubleshooting this I managed to blow the main fuse and we have no more. Anyone know where I can get the CAV type 50 amp main fuse from? It appears to be lead, I was thinking of making a replica out of 1/2 the thickness .005 brass sheet and then tinning it to see if that would work (start smaller). But, I'd rather use a proper thing and not have the risk of frying wiring I spent so much time installing. So, does anyone know where the CAV clip on fuses may be had from?
