1938 generator turns, like a motor, after turning off the car. Clearly the battery is feeding it. Sometimes, if I press the starter (like to turn on the motor), it stops. Other times I have to disconnect the battery. Where should I look at to fix it? Thanks.
Hi Celso
I assume you don't have a belt on the generator. 🙂
The cutout points in your voltage regulator are sticking closed.
The fix may be as simple as lightly dressing the points with a point file, or you may need to replace the regulator.
