New Fuel line with Wipac filter now in place. Only a little blood lost! At least I got to drain the tank & will put the fuel through a filter before putting it back. I have found a few of layers of J cloth in the funnel is a good filter, probably works as a Covid19 face mask too !
I think I will have to bite the bullet & take the switchboard apart and give it a good clean....I have done them before, just try not to break off any crumbly Bakelite this time. At least all the wires are clearly & correctly labelled.
If that doesn't work I suppose the dynamo will have to come off and be "Examined" - before that though... with engine running what should I expect as voltage at the terminals? Should I disconnect the wires when testing? I have seen 7-8 volts at the battery in the past, so the fault is just lurking, waiting to be found !
