[ROVERNET - UK] P4 Clutch & P6 Dynamo

[Paul Smith]

The field connection on the generator should have a small resistance to
earth.
It sounds to me like your RB340 control box is the problem.  I have had
problems with them in times past; the best solution is an alternator!
At 1500rpm you should get over 14 volts out of the generator.
The best description of how to set up a Lucas control box is in the P4
workshop manual.
