Re: E3LM Brushes
hi Bevan ; the new brushes can take a short time to "get going" i have found , it can require a short spell of higher than idle revs before the dynamo will "kick in " to life . on the commutator you want to clean between the segments as it may have a build up of debris or simply ...

Re: DVR2 regulator question
my voltage regulator is fixed to a bracket onto the original mcr2 base and is "hidden" inside it , works just fine and the metalwork of the case provides a decent heatsink i expect .

Re: Might be a daft question about dynamos and batteries.
hi Dennis , with the solid state regulator fitted the voltage output will be limited to whatever the regulator is set to , which will be somewhere just above battery voltage. you have to have a higher voltage than the battery voltage in order to charge it . with the VH you will probably find you see...
