Hello Mike. Glad you are ordering Rick’s book. If someone is going to own and ride airheads, it’s a good thing to have. 

im going from memory because it’s been a while, but I think one has to be careful to properly assemble the brushes to the brush holder, and the brush holder to the alternator, so that it is not inadvertently grounded out to the alternator housing. Again, it’s been a while, but I think there are little fiber washers and sleeves that insulate the circuit from ground?

The Airhead Police will be around shortly to impound all your electrical test equipment. 

 


Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
