Thanx for the info. Got in touch with Moe at Cycle Garden (no answer at
MG Classics), he gave me the fluid info and measurements. He thinks
that perhaps the regulator is bad - am having the mechanic check it out.
Strange thing is he can polarize the generator, get the light to go
out, rev the engine and all is fine. UNTIL he gets off the throttle and
lets the engine idle, then the light comes back on, and revving the
engine again does not turn off the gen light.

As for the fork oil change, where is the drain plug/bolt? Mechanic
looked and didn't see anything on the bottom of the fork. Is it safe to
say that the fill point is under my police dash?

Thanx.

Tranny uses 90 wt. and fills from the top. Three bolts, one on the
bottom
to drain bad oil out, one on the side to tell when there is enough oil
being
poured in and one on the top to pour oil into the tranny. Pretty
straight
forward. Beware that you do not overtighten the drain plug as it does
strip
easily. Bob

The Ambo is back together. Book tells how to drain tranny but not where
to fill it and what type of fluid it requires. Can someone tell me
where to fill the trans and what type of fluid to use? Also, the
generator was rebuilt, mechanic tried to polarize it, worked briefly
then stopped. Method was to tap the positive battery terminal to the
middle white wire on the regulator, believe that is the field wire. Is
there another trick/did I tell them how to polarize it correctly?
Wonder why it didn't stay polarized? Last question is how to change the
fork oil, how much is required to refill, and what oil to use to fill
it.

Thanx!
