I just noticed the longer choke cable in this one as well

So I think I found the problem about why this second Chorehorse wasn't charging. The ammeter burned up inside. I managed to take it apart last night and sure enough the brass piece had broken and burned up. I was toying with the idea of soldering it back together. However I figured these ammeters had to have been used in another application and that OMC/Johnson simply bought an off the shelf item.

I checked out tractor ones, some were close but nothing was exact. Then on a google search I stumbled onto one that looked the same and was marked for a Ford. Some more digging and these are available new made for the Model T and Model A market for $7 USD from Mac's Antique Auto

I just got a 300 watt MKI ZB/CAN 1686 CHI-395-6 1598. Military with Canadian leaf decal on it.

First, does anyone know where I can find a manual for it?

I'm missing the end cowl and looking for it. The start button is missing. The data plate says it is a 12 volt gen set but stamped on the bottom by the connectors it's stamped 6 volts to 30 volts.

Any help or direction would be great.

Thanks Guys Bob Brown

Started making a reproduction weather shield cover for my Cnd chorehorse.

I tried to find the 'waterslide decal paper' and nobody here was able to point me in the right direction. Ah, maybe it's google time...(and hope they don't sell it only by the case).
