Re: [HSS] Generator, and Intake Manifold
Yes, the charge rate is adjustable by the third brush. This is the one that
is accessible when you remove the armature cover, you can see it from the
top. It is spring loaded, and you only need to move it slightly in the
direction of rotation to advance the charge rate. Be careful that you don't
get against the insulated collar when you do, it tends to crumble if pushed
on. I use a small screwdriver and lever the assembly around.. Maximum
charge rate should not be over 18 amps, these old generators are not too
hap0py with high charge rate. As to the mainifold, I understand the
intake and hot box were painted, but the exhaust manifold was not.
