im in need of a 12 volt 38 amp genny, preferably with the plate to bolt to the fan shroud and the fan attached for a non dog house shroud.

why not fit new brushes

5 mins work

also check regulator is not burned out (could be prob) auto sparky would tell in 2 mins check
does the light stay on with revs??

u can get a few more kms out of the brushes if u build the pressure (length )up with a paddlepopstick bit
if no go i may let u buy one
am down next week or Gympie soon

he said it wasnt even pulling the contacts together as there wasnt enough current.

Have you access to an armature growler? How much do you know about electrics, enough to disassemble it, run through a few continuity and resistance tests and short to ground/short circuit tests?

if its a stock single port engine it should be the right one.

i think the later dog house style fan shroud had a different fan.

if it doesnt have a dog house cooler it should be the right one bernie.

dont need it tomorrow but in the nxt few days i spose.

happy to pay postage as long as its a good un.

Good on you Nick, that should be everything fixed by now! It all seems to happen at once, after I got back from Kings Bore last weekend with the broken shockie bolt I hosed the buggy inside and out, drove it up a slope at my place to drain out at an angle of about 40 degrees, only meant to leave it for about ten minutes but forgot about it. The next morning it was dripping petrol out of the dipstick tube!!!! I now have what must be the cleanest engine ever. What should have been just a repair to the shock tower then became a complete oil change, new filter and everything taken off the engine and cleaned. The oil had the consistency of water!

i had that problem once.

could be your needle and seats?

i rebuilt my carby and it fixed, and another problem i had which i thought was the dissy ha ha.

i dont know how type 4 fuel pumps work but apparently on type 1's the pump can wear and fuel can leak into the sump that way too.
