thought this may be the thread to post my dynamo question in :


the two field coil wires that poke out of the internal fibre plate.i have the single vertical slot for the two wires to poke through

the manual says one has a sleeve which goes to the brush .(other to F terminal)

well on mine there is no sleeve .

does it matter which of the field coil wires goes where ?

and if so -how would you work out which is which ... preferably without dissembling the dynamo....

if it also matters I have a positive earth regulator

thanks

Hello 9triton,

It does not really matters which of the field leads goes to the brush, or to which brush,
But it does affect the polarity of the dynamo,
So you can connect it in any random way and re-polarize the dynamo,
Or connect, check the polarity, and if it is not what you need,
(in this case, you get a positive earth) switch between the field wires.
(Or move the same field wire which is connected-> to the other brush.
I guess it would also change the polarity)

Cheers,
Noam.

Noam - thanks

will give it a go and re polarise
