Re: WALLY'S EK
Putting some miles into her - having a little electrical issue with fuses blowing - wires are all good and no short but I’m thinking i might be getting a surge from either the alternator or maggie as its only when you give it some revs they pop - might need a resistor or relay in there - thoughts? Getting bolder with dropping the clutch - has no trouble going speedway on me round corners

Re: WALLY'S EK
Good to hear you’re getting some miles up on it Rob. Dropping the clutch will end in tears with your stock drive line. Don’t ask me.

Yeah - I became pretty proficient at changing out axles and gearboxes in Shake Rattle n Roll
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: WALLY'S EK
Neat pics Rob,
Are you blowing all fuses of just certain circuits? Are you running a standard loom with just the three (from memory) fuses?

Re: WALLY'S EK
Just the two going stephen - two on door side - both 15 amp - loom is a new standard loom - we found a few exposed wires which must of been damaged in reassembly so replaced those but its still happening - can have car on and wiggle wires around with no issue so confident we dont have a short - the geni was replaced with a high output alternator type generator - possibly need some better earthing on motor to body maybe? All works fine with engine not under loadIn the Shed wrote:Neat pics Rob,

Re: WALLY'S EK
Interesting, be good to connect an amp meter in the circuit/s that fail and monitor as engine speed changes to see if there is a change in relationship to engine speed.

Agree. One of the clamp on type ammeters would make it easy.In the Shed wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 11:02 am Interesting, be good to connect an amp meter in the circuit/s that fail and monitor as engine speed changes to see if there is a change in relationship to engine speed.

Wonder if the alternator reg is shagged, and he is getting 15+ volts at high spin speed?

Alt is putting its current to battery through harness rather than wire direct to battery?
