| Do we have a tech day planned for June in Grass Valley?
Would like to bring my Thing over and get help figuring out my possible charging issue. Nice when you have others that have done stuff before and can help.
I "think" it could be the voltage regulator but would like to confirm my generator is doing its thing, but not 100% sure how to test those things.
I might tinker before the next tech day but if not, may bring it by and see what others think.

| I will be there tomorrow in the Thing.
I need help testing to confirm my generator is outputing what it should. I could not figure out a way to test generator with a meter and rev engine at same time to see if volts go up since my meter has no aligator clips and I only had two hands so figured I would roll in and see if I can rev the engine and have someone meter it to see, or visa versa.
I will also bring a new Voltage Regulator in case my genny is OK and from what I hear that voltage regulator could be the culprit.
Also will get some genny brushes although I have no clue on how to replace them since I have never done that before on a VW or any car so anyway, will see what can be done without bothering too many people.

| OK. CLOSING DOWN AND HEADING HOME. AS FAR AS YOUR TIMING ID GO WITH RAYS REC. AT FULL ADVANCE (25-3000 RPM) WITH VAC ADVANCE 40BTDC, WITHOUT VAC ADVANCE 28-32BTDC. | |

| Just made it back home. couldn't find the shop. I programed your address into my GPS but forgot to bring your number. Bug ran up great but started having trouble idling on the way back. I think its a carb issue. Sorry, if I knew you needed help with the move I would have just drove up with my truck. | |
