Hi folks.
I've been having trouble with a 12v voltage regulator and generator on my old international. I've ordered a new VR for it and am waiting for it to come in. I don't think I fully understand how they work and I'm a little hard headed so I've been doing all the testing I can find on it and all the procedures say basically if this ( whatever test result) is the case then replace the VR with a new one. But it doesn't say what it is that is wrong. . If there a short in the windings somewhere? is a contact too to worn? Did all the magic leak out? . . Nothing. On everything else I know what it is that failed and why it needs replaced.
Anyway a buddy gifted me with box of old regulators. All of them were obviously bad except for 2. Just dirty contacts, the problem is how can I tell what voltage and amp range they are for? There are no markings on them. One is a 3 bobbin type the other a 2 bobbin. The 2 bobbin one has 4 connections but one is a dummy (so really only 3) and it has very light (thin wire) windings. I'm guessing this is a 6v one. The other 3 bobbin has thicker wire windings and I'm guessing this is for 12v it also has 3 connections.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
