Starter motor/alternator problems part 4

A day later the same problem came up again so not

a bad connection after all but presumably some fault in the alternator.

In the end I found out that to get the starter motor

running I had to disconnect the alternator.

But at this moment the engine is running badly; it’s

like it’s running on four cylinders instead of eight.

I guess I’ve been playing too much with the lights and

the starter motor so I measured the voltage at

the battery and it’s only 10 Volts; a bit to low.

This is probably why I don’t hear the fuel pump running

and probably the engine is running on almost empty carburettors.

So I took out the alternator and I will have it checked

at a local car electricity shop.

I made some pictures when the car was in the garden;

the body still has to be polished but this will be done

when all the technical issues are solved.

The same goes for the bumpers; they will be mounted

when the car has received her definite greasy rust protection

and when the end silencers are adapted to two twin pipes.
