<VV> Volt Reg, Gen & Other Questions

[Mark Durham]

Regulator question: it could be something as simple as a poor ground or
connection where the regulator cannot properly sense the voltage. By
the way, these units do this all the time, they just regulate it so
well we do not notice. Second, the points in the regulator might be
burnt or pitted, causing it to surge , which raises the voltage in the
coil, so then it opens the circuit, then does it all over again.
You should check for poor connections, the with power off, disconnect
the unit, file the points gently with a point file to remove high
points/burnt areas, then recheck/adjust.

We have had a new member to Long Island Corvair (LICA) who has  trouble.

What could cause a Voltage regulator to visibly switch on/off causing
lights and other items to pulsate?

Could it be a bed voltage regulator?

Bad Generator?

Another new member might be selling an old gas heater.  What would be  a
fair price for:

- a functioning gas heater?

- non-functioning gas heater?
