1961 All Other Makes Recreational Vehicles 57 Willis Kieser CJ 5. Voltage ? Jeepenstein !

Manually setting these old voltage regulators is something that should be left to an auto electrician, you can do it your self but you will need a manual that shows you the steps and the correct air gaps for the contactors, there are very few old mechanics about these days that will know what I am talking about, this is just one of the old skills long lost in the trade now.

That's a shame! I would like to find a manual to attempt this. Where would you go for a complete manual? And thanks!

Check online, I buy many old and hard to find manuals on line,

I am now. But nothing just yet. If its not worth fighting for it must not be worth it , right?

seek and ye will find....... or something a bit more contemporary. Google and get one they will be out there, I restore vintage and veteran cars full time as a professional mechanic, and you would be suppressed what is out there if you keep looking.

By the way, if I had one I would gladly help you out, I live in Australia and work on mainly European and British Pre 1960's sports cars. If you can't find any thing, I can look into sending you something generic that should assist, as most manual set voltage regulators work on a similar principal just settings are achieved differently depending on the type of reg used.

Yeah. I guess it would be much easier to just get a new one set to what I need
I'm not sure if I should restore it back to 6volts or leave it at 12. And don't even know how many amps. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a carpenter/ artist
But I've got the patience and skill to learn how to fix this thing,,,it works now
But someone made a mess , I will send you pix when the sun comes up!
It is a hoot!

ok, thanks.
