Hello All,
My 15-year-old daughter was helping me work on my 6V + ground Speedster today by loosening the tensioner bolt on the generator bracket (gotta start easy, right?).
I wasn't looking when she recoiled from the car and said there was a spark... Best I could tell, the wrench she was using momentarily made contact with the center post on the voltage regulator.
I'll be the first to state that electricity scares me and I don't understand it very well; so I was wondering, has damage been done? How can I tell? Does this mean I should re-polarize the generator? Do something else?
Thanks! I'm glad to have reconnected with the group after about a 10 year hiatus....
