>>The brushes may eventually seat themselves. Is spring pressure sufficient?<<

That's what I was hoping. Yes, spring pressure seems to be adequate. But it's not charging any better and I've got over 50 miles on it.

But now I'm thinking the brushes weren't the problem. I get a stumble, like there's an intermittent short that kills the ignition just for a split-second. It never dies, and the voltmeter doesn't fluctuate when this happens though, which puzzles me.

So tomorrow I'll put it on some ramps and crawl under it to see if I can find the notorious short that is common in the biodegradable wiring of this beast.
