After much chiseling, and some tracing, I think I found the genesis of this generator's general grunge. (Hey, _you_ try to find a 'g' word that's better!)
The small diode bridge has every diode blown, shorted, and its feed trace gone too. Perhaps it's the shorted 'protective' MOV on its output? Of course, now it has other problems! Me and my chisel... Bad design. If you're going to use a MOV, a wear component, put it where it can be replaced. And fuse the circuit too. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
