Has anyone used these brushes from a vacuum shop? What is the success and performance result? Would anyone on the board know the brush dimensions? Not to be an a$$, but I have used them successfully as stated. As for dimensions, all you need to do is measure what you have and add some length. All brushes are basically the same as to material content. This topic should be in it's own thread instead of hijacking another's.

any starter shop can make you brushes. I was quoted 25 bucks by the former Brantford Starter and Alternator for enough brushes to last me a lifetime. I opted for a set of Kawi replacements from my stash I've hoarded away. LC had had issues with brushes on early alternator.

Hey Ian,
Battery charging at 16 volts sounds too high,
My intial guess, you have a cell going south on the battery... The charging system is trying to charge it, it heats up and starts to fail.
For shits and giggles, plunk a different battery in it

I switched my S2 battery and put in the H2 as I know it's good.
Ok stupid question. On the H1A does the charging light go on when powered up then goes out when started as many others do or is it out then goes on once started? I can't remember what my H1A did but it seems the light went on after starting.

Just before heading to work I quicky put on the spare stator on my B..Charges..I remove signal wire and connnect the dark Blue (reduntdant )wire. Turn key on ,no light start and light goes on..Do this on Barry's B and the same 14 volts from Blue wire..put on old stator..6 vlts and no light.. From what I read the light should go out when started..Dark blue wire has continunity with Stator and Voltage wire...

The battery light of an H1A comes on when the ignition switch is turned on.
With the engine running as soon as the output voltage of the charging system goes above about 13v the battery light goes out. Sometimes at a slow idle the battery light may come on dimly.
The bulb is directly fed switched power and the regulator controls it by grounding the circuit as needed.

The way the light should work is: at low idle or key on and not running light is on. As engine is started and revs up light goes out. I'm not sure from your description exactly what you are doing with what wires. For the TS light to work as a charge indicator one side of the bulb should be wired to the blue (loose) wire and the other side of the bulb connected to a brown wire. (Look at H1w/cdi wiring) The blue wire should have about 14v on it with engine running. The blue wire connects to the rectifier and thru the rectifier to the stator. Measuring, there should be continuity in only one direction when checking at the stator (yellow wire).

Thanks dale & Scott. Ok Dale explains it while in a hurry to test and go to work I failed to look at the wiring diagram. So I really need to connect to the brown wire my signal was still grounded. Either way it shows me voltage is coming thru. Now I need to look at the Stator a little more as it test good even after running ,brushes are about 13mm and do contact the rotor . I'll check the green wires for voltage .

Hey LC..The green wire at brush only reads 6 vlts even when Battery reads 12. Can't check my H1B as everything is now packed around it. I checked the green wire at the voltage reg connector with same reading. I'm guessing 6 Volts is OK as that's the same voltage to test the rotor.

Swapped out the Stator and now it charges.Both stators test exactly the same , >:(weird or what .
