I have an 6V Autolite generator (model 4809) that has an Autolite 2-tower regulator that attaches directly to the generator case. One of the towers is a generator cut-out, the other tower is controlling voltage or amperage I think, but that's really not my question.
If you click on the link below you will see a picture from the internet of the same regulator that someone had for sale. In the picture, you will see a small cylindrical metal fuse cap (I think it's a fuse cap) on the lower right of the base. Someone has put a little metal "blank" inside to replace the fuse, not sure why ..... maybe he couldn't find a fuse that fits. It seems like a shorter fuse length than most glass-bodied fuses would be.
Second, on the right side base (barely visible in the photo) is a ceramic or carbon block or bar. I suspect it is some kind of a resistor. The block on my regulator is broken, the middle 1/3 is actually missing but the two ends are screwed to the regulator. So two questions ...
1) What is the purpose of the fuse I describe assuming it is a fuse) ?? 2) What is the purpose of the carbon or ceramic resistor block (assuming that's what it is) ??
This will make more sense once you see the photo in the link ....

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
