Re: M20 Dynamo supplies 6 volts - Continue issue

I wonder if the brushes have been connected correctly i.e. "F" and "D" just inside the dynamo.

They should have been, as the dynamo would have been bench tested when it left the re-winders.

Maybe it is start again.

Reflash to the correct polarity of your electronic voltage regulator, then test the output of the dynamo on the bike, but not connected to the regulator.

Hi,

Usually electronic regulators needs the battery as a load,
(Or at least a capacitor, Sold dearly as "Battery eliminator"...)
In order to cover for battery absence.

Otherwise the regulator would not work correctly and may be burnt. FYI...

Noam.

Hi Michael

Did you get your charging issue sorted?

Re: M20 Dynamo supplies 6 volts - Continue issue

one of the downsides of modern electronics is digital meters without any damping.
I have tossed most of mine & gone back to an analog one when working on the bike.
I bought a very expensive one only to find that I have to preset the range to 00.00 V every time tried to take a reading otherwise it read each contact running over the comutator so it went 0 to 9 V and back a squilion times a second then as the voltage was getting low when the brushes cross the seperator it would automatically switch to mV and became unreadable.
The 50 year old analog meter read a flucuating 6.9 to 7.2 volts.

I made a repolarizing to the system and all is well now.
Thank you all.
