I'll have to go back and look, I've got three different books, The complete Idiot book, Chiltons, and the other one you can buy at AutoZone or Advanced, my mind is slipping, one of them mentioned it, could have been the idiots guide, I think the person said you can adjust it, but it means you have problems somewhere else, I'll look tonight when I get home and see if I can find.
thanks for the tips and will get the new adjusters, I guess the adjusters should pull out?

Ron, Almost. connect the neg meter lead to the d- post on the gen. then the jumper lead to the meter lead/d-post to a good ground. The + meter lead to the gen D+ post. You do not connect anything to the original wires.
   OK on the red light. I think you are looking at the rear window defrost on/off light. Look under the dash around where the steering column is mounted and find the little black rocker switch. Turn on the ign. switch and flip it off and see if the light goes off.
   As far as the push rod goes,I don`t mean moving it inches.If this the case then you do have a problem.
  Press On

Thanks for the tips & advice I do appreciate it.  As far as the pushrod, I guess what I mean is, as far as adjusting, we're talking of loosening the 13mm nut and adjusting the push rod in or out ?
Ron

I've heard/read several different things on the pushrod . . . from never adjust it to always adjust it.  What I do now is just what Ret.Bugtech said . . . you usually don't have to, but it needs it, adjust it.  Before you adjust it, make sure that the pedal stop is set correctly and there isn't something (a small rock, 40 years of dirt, a wad of carpet, etc.) stuck between the stop and the pedal.

Ron, Good luck on having your gen. rebuilt in this town. I may catch some flak from this,but I don`t of anyone who could rebuild a Bosch gen. and make It last anytime at all. You would better off getting a factory rebuilt GR-15X from a good dealer along with a new Bosch reg. Cost a little more but that will be the last of your gen. problems for long time

Just to jump in here and ask a quick question of David, Would you recommend converting over to an alternator with a built in regulator instead of messing with the gen.?

According to all the self-proclaimed experts, an alternator will put out more amps at idle, and a LOT more amps at higher speeds.  If you think that it is a law that your stereo announces that you are coming from at least 1 mile away, and you've got a set of headlights off of the space shuttle that will instantly blind someone from 5 miles away, you may really need the extra power of an alternator.  For most of us, a generator will put out all the power we need.

In addition to the things David mentioned, there is another side benefit to a generator . . . If you put power to the D+ terminal and ground DF, it will run like a motor.  If you're out in the boonies by yourself with no cell phone service and you remember that you forgot to pick up a spare belt when the generator light comes on, with an alternator, your walking.  With a generator, you can get a little ways down the road using the generator to run the cooling fan.  How far this can get you depends on how good your battery is . . . and how much juice those high powered headlights and that killer stereo suck.   :cool:

Alright! Replaced the brushes in the generator and cleaned the commuator( if that's how it's spelled) looks like it worked, the generator light went off. Question, even though this not a new generator, you think the voltage regulator should be replaced or OK? You read and think you all may have mentioned that if the generator is replaced, be sure to replace the regulator.
Also replaced the one set of bad adjusters, readjusted the front brakes, pedal feels better, will try to readjust back brakes over the weekend and re-bleed the system.
thanks
Ron
