Why not give that a try first. If that doesn't settle the debate, then I can send you a selected resistor for comparison. > By the way, the generator has a bosch sticker on it, came in a bosch box, > has bosch instructions.

I had to ask because I think a lot of people just assume that it was rebuilt by Bosch because it was a Bosch generator. > As for the black wire, I don't think it was bad luck so much as it was bad > installation - the wire was right up against the windings.

It probably needs to be there, because it comes out of that bundle. Or I don't have the right wire in mind. Yes, the thru-bolts are TIGHT! I usually have to get the generator in my vise and put a very large well fitting screwdriver in there to break them loose. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
