I've been working on my T lately, getting it ready to make a longish trip to a friends house. When I started it this afternoon to take it for short test drive after readjusting the brakes and resetting the timing a bit. Starts fine, but the generator is showing about 8 amps of charge, not really a problem, but perhaps a bit more than needed, anyhoo, whilst driving about, everything seemed normal, even the ammeter went down to normal. Get home, drive into the garage, turn the key off and bloody ammeter is showing a 15 amp discharge. I immediately suspect the bloody cutout, so I tear up the hood and feel the cutout thinking it to be hot, but it is cool, even the generator is cool to the touch, but the meter is still showing discharge, I test the lights, they're working run round the car to make sure none of my tail and or brake lights are on (they weren't), then I disconnect the cutout and of course the ammeter returns to 0.
Next I start checking my wiring, everything for the switch to the block on the firewall, nothing seems amiss, so I ask you folks, have I missed something? What else should I check? I know I need to readjust the generator, I think the charge rate is a bit too high, but other than that what else have I not done...I'm stumped.
