Generator Question; by A Veteran
why the small wire from the generator body over to the ground on the regulator? I've got a K.G. running w/o it. It must be grounded. NO? -- If guns are out-lawed. Only the Out-laws & politicians will have guns.

OT - interior smell by John[_45_]
This ain't about ACVW but you folks are straight shooters so I'm asking. Oh, and it ain't a Seinfeld joke, either. I'm looking at a sporty car. Looks most excellent. Low miles (< 30K). Seems the owner will let it go cheap enough. It is all black and was sitting in the sun, locked and closed all...

VW 1965 engine spluttering after switch off by YMC[_2_]
Hi, I've got a classic VW Beetle - vintage 1965. It has a 1641cc engine inside. It was running smoothly until recently. The problem is thus: I go for a 15 minute to 1 hour drive - I stop - and turn off the key. The engine still keeps on running - spluttering for about 30 seconds after this.
