[T3] Charging issue still

[Tim Keohane]

I rechecked the generator mounting, and found the alignment less than  
the width of the dimple on the  strap off. ( 1mm ) I'll correct that,  
however it seems too small to create a heating issue. Yes Jim I have  
your charging fact sheet and will recheck everything again. I will  
also repeat my drive from a few days back without any load except the  
clock and the fuel pump and any other draws necessary for the car to  
run. ( coil, fuel injectors, dist. etc ) The generator is a re- 
manufactured bosch # 311 903 031. I see on the commutator (?), where  
the brushes ride, a ledge indicating wear. The groves are still very  
visible and are deeper than the ledge is tall by many factors. The  
brushes are protruding above the holder brackets and the spring (s)  
seems plenty strong.
The voltage regulator is not bosch and I have some reservations  
regarding that component. I'm not sure I can envision a situation  
where the V R would drop as the temp. went up. Does anyone have any  
comments on the new style bosch electronic V R ?
I'd like to get this solved as my transmission is debating itself as  
to what gear it should be in and when.
Thanks Tim
