I find the book my essential 'go to' resource for classic electrics:
For anyone wanting to understand classic wiring and components it's a great 'one stop shop'.
Becoming a Club member will gain you access to the archives which have copies of the Lucas Workshop Instructions which tell all regarding dynamo repair and testing - money well spent IMO

Re: Battery Connections
Quite agree Mick. A superb book and beautifully produced. Not 'cheap' but I think it is worth every penny, 'cos you get what you pay for in this life!

Re: Battery Connections
I had the book as a present from my son this Christmas after many hints that fell on deaf ears.
Seasons greetings Bill, Mick, Steve and everyone, happy and healthy New Year.

Re: Battery Connections
Hello Trig,
Without knowing which type of regulator is fitted it would be safe to disconnect the leads from the dynamo if you don't have a battery and want to run the engine. Tape up/insulate all the individual lead ends anyway and label them for your own peace of mind. I refer to the regulator because I'm not sure what an 'old style' one would do without a battery connected as a reference to work out charge.
