I don't see why that would be. An Ammeter (in theory) has zero resistance and doesn't affect the current in any way. Grounding the case to the frame, and therefore the ground potential of the battery, shouldn't affect its operation. There is a light bulb in there of course which is wired to the ligh...

Yes, they just measure the current flowing along a wire. You will have to swap the connections so that you get it showing a positive charge when the dynamo/alternator is charging. An easier method is to get it showing a negative when the engine isn't running and the lights are on (depending on how t...

On the later engines with enclosed pushrod tubes I've had real problems with oversize rubbers further swelling and crippling the pushrods as well as flooding the top e...

That price looks like a 'Typo' to me. If it just needs a carburettor fix then double that would still be a good price !
