Part Description
Cycle Electric, 6-Volt generator. Built-in regulator. Black
Quality OEM style reproduction, fitted with a modern built-in electronic voltage regulator. USA made. OEM replacement reference 29975-61. Note: Will also fit 36-64 H-D, but when replacing 3 brush generators use H-D #31035-58 (MCS 555773) oil deflector and discard spring and old deflector. Check clearance on foot clutch models. OAL of 926746 is 7.58" (193mm) from gasket surface to fins. Note: See 926728 for replacement 6-V electronic regulator only. Tech tip: Generator polarizing. With the motor off connect the 'F' terminal to ground and momentarily flash the 'A' terminal with positive. Remove ground from 'F' terminal. If you have properly installed a working regulator it will turn on and ground the 'F' terminal in which case you will not need to use an external ground. Caution! Do not flash the 'F' terminal. This will damage the regulator. Do not connect the battery to the Field (F terminal) as this will polarize the generator backwards. Generators in general don't forget their polarization so it is not necessary to polarize a generator from Cycle Electric Inc. unless it was connected to a battery backwards or inadvertently polarized backwards after it left the factory. Only after a long time period generators can struggle to come up and polarization can be a good idea.
