Hey Jim, I cant argue with that, for sure, if theres a "winding to winding" as opposed to a "winding to case" short (thats what I was talking about in my post) the current would increase. However, Im not sure the "field magnetism" would increase, as its a COIL of wire wrapped around a soft iron core that produces the magnetism and if the internal short were located such that the current just by passed most of the coil windings, then there could be more current but less magnetism, meaning less genny output voltage and if the output were real low the cutout relay wouldnt ever pull in whereby battery power could feed into the short and eventually through the light switch resistor.

I still bet theres a hot voltage source shorted to the Field terminal on his switch causing a lot of current to flow through that resistor to ground...

Thanks Jim, Yeppers a great n fun discussion, were probably boring the others lol

Take care n Happy Thanksgiving
