It's possible that different versions have slightly different electrical characteristics (other than the obvious 6V/12V differences), but I doubt if those differences amount to much. It's possible that various rebuilders might have replaced field windings with generic ones that were close but not quite close enough. This might explain some of the problems. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
