have you got a schematic for this generator?

any pictures of where the missing resistor fits?

what does it control?  field?  or?

approx physical size?

it shouldn't be too hard to figure out a replacement, but need more information.

I am back with another problem! Help Please.
It appears that the alternator is overcharging I have rewound the Resistor in the box on top of the alternator. using the hole length of the resistor still doesn't take the volts below 30VDC The amp meter is hard over to the stop about 5 amp but don't know how much more. I don't want to Boil the battery's!
Could it be the rectifier on the end of the alternator? is there any way I can test it. I don't have a wiring diagram for the alternator but I have sent for a lister manual on the BKB 4.5 Kva should be hear in a few days.

Just to give an update I have rewound the resister in the top box again using 0.6mm mig wire insted of 0.8mm. for the moment all is working. I will keep you posted.
