Possible regulator Issues
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 6:09 pm
Hi
Would any one be able to advise on a minor electrical Issue? My 1937 Rover 10 (Jenny) appears I think, to be suffering from a regulator issue in so much as it now takes around 40seconds or so for the ignition light to go out. On starting from cold (normally a week or but starts on the button) the ignition light remains on regardless of revs, gets brighter and eventually goes out during which time the ammeter does not move. After this it is fine and shows no issues and charging appears to be occurring; battry is fine and belt is tight etc.
Would the coil be going week or is there a maintenance regime on the regulator that needs to be completed??
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
