OK...I have a cckw that I want to make a little more "road-worthy".
It has the original 6 volt system, but I have alot of trouble getting
AFter having sat for several weeks at a time, when I start it up the Amp
meter doesnt want to work, so I go out and spray the generator brushes
Should I simply rebuild my generator or spend that money doing some

You want a reliable HMV, do those. I have over 50,000 miles in a CCKW
with those mods and a couple others simple ones and have been very happy
to just hop in and go with no worries.

Subject: [MV] best upgrade to CCKW charging system ??
the
charging system to work.
or
tap the side of the generator body until
the system starts working. But even then, it seems that I have to get
the
truck idling very fast in order to get the meter to show any charge.
Even
after that, sometimes when I am driving and the ammeter shows charging
for
10-15 minutes, when I stop the truck and shortly thereafter try to start
it
again, the motor doesnt want to turn over good as if the battery is
about
worn down.
other
upgrade that, long term, will be more reliable.
