My regulator is playing up a bit, I sometimes have to trick it into operation by pushing the contact on the electro magnet. I am thinking it may be the charge in my battery not enough to close the contacts so I will see when I get it on the road.

But can my Ducelier 1283B be exchanged with a Ducleier 8304A. They look very similar but not sure if you can swap and change.

My Regulator 1283B


The one available on the Bon Coin 8304A

Anybody have an idea

Give it a try. But keep running a meter across the battery as a test, if the charge is too much stop. If not you've solved your problem.

Problem is I need to buy the other one first at €50.

Wanted to know before I send the cheque - it might be a try after you buy thing I suppose.

Ah! Yes....No spares? No one near by to lend one. 50 euros...But you always need a spare.
6 volts can't damage a 12v regulator..

The new one would be 6 Volts too.

I might just take the risk - they are supposed to match up with the Dynamo I thought, hence the question.

Yer cables look a bit thin - are they really ok for 21 amps ?

hmmmm, that could be something. I bought it like this BUT I am not sure it left the his barn since they did it. And I am certain it has not worked correctly since I bought it as I have never seen the ammeter move so thought it was the norm for it just to sit there in the middle.

I bought that regulator, awaiting the new battery and if no luck I will make up some heavier leads.

thanks for this

Time for today's lesson, in that case...

Hi I picked a 6 volt Paris Rhone one up at vide grenier on Sunday. points box regulator and wiper motor, 3 euros for the three. Always good place to keep a look out for 2cv bits
