stalls while braking
It just started a few of days ago. I finally confirmed yesterday. When It
idles, I put the brakes on, it will start to stall. It stalls when I brake and turn the signal on, but only at an idle. I know it is probably a electrical problem. I wanted to know if anybody has ever had this problem. 1. not driving - Let it idle for a minute or a while, hit the brakes or hit the brakes and turn signal on at the same time, it starts to idle real slow and it stalls. 2. driving - drives fine until coming to a stop. Downshift or put in neutral, once rpms get down to an idle, it wants to stall. -- Thanks Eddie |

I would expect the voltage to stay near 12V even with brakes/turn lights on. If you get a bigger drop, move the meter to the battery posts and repeat. You don't say what year/model so anything further would be speculation. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |

Sorry, 1965 T1 converted to 12V.

Thanks Speedy Jim,
I will test tonight when I get home.

I did test it last night, the only reading above 12V was when the engine was
at a higher rpm. At idle it was about 11.61V. With the brakes on and then the signal , it would drop to 10.9 or so. "Eddie" > wrote in message ... | It just started a few of days ago.

That's quite low (10.9), although I would expect the engine to still have enough spark to run.

I'm kinda going by memory. I wrote the measurements down, but I forgot the
paper at home. Even at an idle, the battery didn't even measure 12V. I measured at the coil, fuse terminal 1, fuse terminal 8, and at the battery. At an idle none measured 12V, except on the generator.

Does the battery ever go flat that it has trouble cranking the engine? At a fast idle (maybe 1000 RPM), the voltage right at the battery should be a minimum of 13.5V. More typically, it would be around 14V. > > "Speedy Jim" > wrote in message > . net... > | Eddie wrote: > | > I did test it last night, the only reading above 12V was when the engine > was > | > at a higher rpm.

Thank for all of the help Speedy Jim.
No trouble cranking or starting. It will start right up. I don't have an rpm gauge on it, so I don't know what rpm it is at a fast idle. Before last night, it sat for 5 days. Sunday, I adjusted the valves and took it for a test drive. No problems starting up after valve adjustment. Then last night, started right up to test it. I will test to see what volts the battery is at with the engine off. Maybe the battery is going bad? But I figured, once its started, the generator should keep a steady voltage going through the system even without the battery.
