My best guess. If the magnetism weakens a little in a week that would be pretty normal. It is after all, just iron, not a permanent "alloy" magnet. If the cutout relay is set to pull in at 1 volt over battery volts, and the generator puts out that with no closed cutout, the cutout will close and provide charge. if the cutout air gap or spring tension is 2 volts over bat voltage, and the gen puts out 1.6 volts over bat volts, the cutout will not close, and it won't charge. Then flashing it causes the magnetism to be stronger than it was, and the gen puts out 2.2 volts, and the relay latches, and charges. Were it mine I would either close the gap on the cutout (Disconnected from the battery terminal) by a few thousandths, or incrementally decrease the spring pressure holding the points open. Closing the points just a little is far more likely to be a finer adjustment, and not screw up the opening of the points when gen output is lower than battery volts. (Idling with the lights on or as it stops when shut off. Jim

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
