Ian L Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi Guys I took the K5 out for a 40 run on Thursday & she boiled the battery through overcharging. Theres a N.O.S voltage regulator type CAV 75BT-19X on ebay for £70 is that a good price ? Cant find a CAV DBNB-137 Dynamo yet but I may not need one anyway, could do with a set of brushes though. I want her back on the road for 28th-29th as our club has a couple of runs on. Cheer Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Before you go mad and spend money(!) try checking the regulator first. To be fair, unlike the Lucas counterparts, they are a tad fiddly. But if you want to give it a go I am happy to scan the appropriate info and email you the pdf.

Hi Paul thanks for the offer of help, I know the Regulator is faulty as its over charging which is why I asked about the price on ebay, the dynamo must be ok by elimination as its charging but I do need some brushes.

Tony B Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Might be worth have the dynamo out and do that at the same time. New bearings and brushes aren't that expensive. New belt an all maybe, stop the domino effect! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
