I don't know for sure because that braided wire is bare, so I imagine that even if not connected to the solder point that if it was hitting the spring it would still send a signal... or not..

all the same - I would still like to replace that cracked piece above.


Um.... your brush fell out of the regulator connection. That's not good. It should be connected (solder usually) to be able to charge.

Replace the volt reg and you should be good.

I recently got me another alt sans regulator so I could have the double V-pulley alone... mine was replaced without it. I'll be ya if I throw a regulator on it, it too will work.
