have 1958 A4 with a generator rewired for 12V system, new bearings, still 3 brushes. Motor was used max 4 hours since partial rebuild. A week ago finally got my boat in the water, travel 25 minutes, charge to battery was 14.5V then wend up to 15.8V.
Leaving the boat I did forget to turn the ignition switch off. Next day the charge to battery was 12.2V After cleaning brushes, stator, various wires the charge is now 12.9V going to 12.2V after 10 min. Taking the generator to the shop tomorrow.
Friend told me : get a GM 2 wire alternator and replace old generator...good - bad idea?....
