<VV> Fw: regulator messing up

[Charles Birchwood]

Well, I was having trouble with it when I put a new alternator in, but then (at 
the instruction of one of the VV members), I just cleaned it a little and stuck 
it back in and it worked fine! So, i messed with it Sat. because I was trying to 
finish the process of cleaning it.

When I was in school getting my A&P license, one of the "Old" 
instructors gave us a good rule to follow:  "If it ain't broke, don't 
mess with it!"
