: Ok, assuming that I HAVE blown up my generator and overcharged my battery (previous message), what can I do about it? Can I fix it, do I replace it, or send it away for repair?
: On the same topic, I heard that putting the 20 amps into the battery is because of the 3rd brush. What is it? Where is it, and how do I change it? I've removed the generator, but haven't taken it apart yet. Every time I order the Model A Mechanics book, or some others, they are always back ordered.
: I do have 35 years of Restorer/Model A News. Does anyone have an index of them that would show which issue I could look in?
: Thanks for your patience. I'm real new to this, as you can tell.
