That red light should go on when you turn the ignition switch on, then go off once the engine (and hence generator) are running. If you run the carrier in pitch black that light will give of an eerie faint glow sometimes.
Carriers look particularly fetching with snow in the tracks and bogies, no?

Very “fetching” indeed Bruce ! Snow on her is like mascara on a pretty girl , it enhances appeal .

Don't overdo the tension on the belt. Fords ran fairly loose.
One thing you can do to improve it is to replace the cut out switch on top of the generator with one of the solid state units from Mac's. They had one that also acted as a regulator. Only proviso is if you boost the vehicle with 12 volts, you automatically fry it. Edited to add: I don't see them on Mac's site anymore, but here is a site with them: http://www.funprojects.com/products/10505v.aspx 170 in the winter is fine.

Thanks again Rob . All Items not in stock . I think it’s a fantom site because the copyright has not been renewed since 2018.

Bruce , i put the probes of the voltmeter on the battery terminals with the engine running and i get 6 volts . I assume that the geny is not putting out any juice . Am i right ? Should i look for a fuse somewhere or does the generator have to come off ?
