Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Looks like alternator guts to me.

You desperately need a manual. See the sticky on this forum for links.

You will need a new pulsing coil;

I would hazard a guess and say the brown fuzz is the copper winding wire from either one or both of the coils.
As Nails stated, one should get as much information/manuals/parts diagrams as one can to aid in becoming proficient at owning and maintaining one of these beasts. Good luck with your repair.

If you want a hardcopy of the manual, you can upload the PDF to Lulu.com. It can be printed in soft/hard cover, or it can be printed in spiral-bound format (recommended). Prices vary, but having a hardcopy is my personal preference. Did this with my tractor manual -- worth every penny!
:perfect10:

I will say, though, that when I do some work, I like to print out the relevant pages. I laminated the oil change pages as I only do it seasonally, and I like having them at hand for the torque values for each plug (they are different, and I do NOT want to mix the torque values up!). Cheers!
