Check the wiring, clean contacts in voltage regulator, if still no chargy the brushes are probably had it.
Time to strip it, machine commutator, fit new brushes & bearings. Or get a reco one. :wink:

I entered a post in the wrong section. If noone has replied you can press the "X" in the top r/h corner next to "quote" & "edit"
