Even solenoids have pronouns now.

Where do I connect the wire from the ignition switch that use to run to the solenoid?

A good video for the amateur. However people get into trouble when they don't know and they don't understand whether their generator has an internally earthed field or an externally earthed field. Never polarise your generator from the regulator box. Remove both the wires from the generator and polarise the fields at the generator. You will need to know whether the generator has an internally or an externally earthed field. If you try to polarise the field at the regulator box and it is externally earthed field, then you are shorting battery to earth if you tap the field terminal instead of the dynamo terminal.

Very impressive, but I have a problem in understanding how I'm gonna have my emperor gauge work

Beautiful car , anyone that loves cars this has to be at the top of every list.Next to Jaguar , this is equal to the Jag ❗️🇺🇸

I bought this when they first came out for my mgb, but could never get on with it. I found feeler gauge, screwdriver and spanner better to use. 20 odd years later it still sits at the bottom of my tool box, unused.

Learning about the way things used to be done really makes you appreciate modern solid state electronics.

Great explanation sir... Also, you sound like Casey Kasom.

Crap video the ally trim install the hardest bit isn't detailed

What’s a CHP

There's nothing in the auto world more intimate than the British Sports Car.

Excellent presentation - many thanks.

Dang,,, good info, have to save this one into my playlist.

That is a beautiful automobile sir!

Nice lesson

Why oh why is there no RUclips video that tells us how to test the VOLTAGE of a coil??

The later seven bearing crank engines didn’t rev like the earlier engines. Sort of took the fun out of the drive.

I look at this picture and I can say. I had some of it. I had a 1970 Spitfire in Maple brown, and even though I didn't get the airplane, I was still able to become an aircraft mechanic. At the age of 74 I can look back and say, I'm glad I didn't wait. Wait for anything in life. I indulged my self, and I still am. And some days when I have nothing better to do, I look at something like this picture and I smile.

Is not fit to mgb gt 1973..must be trim it

Steering wheel single spoke should be upright, then you can see the instruments.

map stands for manifold absolute pressure

Talking hands are hard to listen to

A British beauty 👌

Yes but how's the dang thing supposed to be oriented in there

what color is this

It's never too late to have a happy childhood

A thing of beauty is a. JOY. FOREVER

Yes there is

It’s better to have had a spitfire than to have never had one at all. Even better to have had one in 1967. Even better to still have it.

Thanks for the breakdown! I like the reinforcement at the end of the video! It works! Lol

very educative. Thank you regards

Can anyone tell me what regulator is this one? Or where can I find one so easily adjustable?

Excellent-Thanks

Very unclear about which terminal to connect to + lead. It's a plug lead, and "the big one where the battery comes in" is no clue at all !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that information.

Gorgeous. A Tears for Fears song has brought me here.

What is the tool to remove the needle?

A friend of mine had a 1965 Austin Healey 3000 MK III in red/black combo. I loved that car!! However, yours, in that incredibly gorgeous blue is a complete knockout! Great car and two gorgeous!

this is not a test of the alternator. i dont get all the positive comments.

Thanks , great information by the way should I take the belt off of the generator to see if it comes to life ?

I think both women and men really do appreciate classic cars. It’s mainly a man’s labour of love. I own a pale primrose 65 e type. I love your car and It’s great to see and hear of your passion. Great work - and your e type looks amazing. Well done !!

Fell in love with this car in the 60’s, but realistically knew it was out of my reach financially. When I finally reached a time in life when this dream could come true, I tracked down a British racing green car with tanned interior. I arrive to view the car and finally sit in her, holding that beautiful steering wheel, I found that my height and possibly my shape did not marriage this slim line beauty. How sad was that after all those years dreaming. Loved your video

Been a cane diy mechanic, for years and that was very interesting and educational. Thanks

I have one that motors great when I put 12 volts to the armature slows down quick when power is switched to the field coils but will not charge. New bushes cleaned the armature new voltage regulator. Makes .10 of a volt. I have done all the tests and seems fine. I am puzzled.

Outstanding series. Thank you, Moss.

Really nice job on this video. Beautiful Healey

Jan, If this problem did NOT exist before, Nothing was Changed by anyone else and You have NOT changed anything since the tractor has run last, then don't jump to conclusions...I suggest you just STEP BACK and go through everything very slowly. I believe the Problem will turn out to be surprisingly simple and also, "Hiding in Clear Sight".. I know that may sound Crazy but that is how it usually works out. I Know You will solve the problem.

Absolutely lovely - but what on earth is that dashboard! Its terrible! Needs to be brought back to its original painted look.

I owned a Miata. It was more reliable than the TR 4’s I own now. But being tall it was too cramped for me. The TR 4’s fit my size better and I like the classic looks.

Because you know the voltage, and this video displays the resistance of this particular device it seems like you can reasonably determine that it is operating properly by measuring the current, inline, without having to remove the device from the vehicle. By my calculations and using ohm's law (E=IR), we might expect what he refers to as operating current as 12v / .7ohms or 17Amps, and maintenance current as 12v / 12ohms or 1amp. Is this correct? Of course, the numbers will differ for each person's device, but we're looking for a difference being present, not an actual number. On my gt6, these little buggers are very difficult to install while the transmission is in place. A testing method for a while the device is in the car it certainly useful.
