Have had this alternator on the LJ track car for several years.
It has worked fine.
Recently though, the "Gen." light in the ammeter is on and stays on.
I have checked the voltage at the + terminal is 12.6v.
It does not change voltage with engine revs
There is no seperate regulator.
There has only ever been 2 wires connected to it, the Brown IND wire, and the main big +ve wire.
With the ingntion "on" there is 12v on the
IND terminal.i.e it has the initial excitement supply.
The battery slowly goes flat as you drive the car.
Thus it appears it is not charging at all.
My questions are -
1 The alternator appears foreign to the car?...what is it from?
2 It appears to have integrated brushes i.e. not serviceable.
3 Is it a throw away?
Thanks in advance
