The best  way to deal with this particular fault is to restart the 
engine until you  can get to the battery or the VR. Then shut off the 
engine and disconnect  the battery quickly.



Well, it was 2:30 in the morning, and we had just driven 16.5 hours from  
Carthage that day, so I was ready to call it a day. Got up around 9:30, and 
had  some coffee before going out to change the VR and finish unloading the 
car from  the Invasion trip. I figured unplugging the battery would keep the 
charge in it,  rather than leave the light on overnight. It was after I 
changed the VR, that I  also checked the brushes, and found the bottom one worn 
down to almost flush  with the holder (wear limit). I can't complain too 
much about putting in a set  of brushes, as I hadn't done it to that generator 
in all the time I've had it  (over 15 years, and was used then). That's also 
why I ordered some bearings from  you, as I'd like to change them out when 
the weather warms up again.
