Hey, I like cheap fixes. The regulator's out of the bike anyway, so what
the heck. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

| Have you tried the low tech fixes? Mark at MG CLassics, against all proper business practices, insisted that I try the fixes before I buy a replacement from him. 1)make sure the ground connection is solid. continuity from the body of the reg (base not cover) should be close to the same as the reading as when the probes are crossed. 2) clean out the contacts. I used 600 grit sand paper between all three sets of contacts. I did this without the unit in the bike. I imagine it woul be nearly impossible with the unit in place. 3) hose it out with some good electric contact cleaner. the stuff I have says it's safe for circuit boards. 4) with the bike running, operate each of the contacts manually. |
