Home Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Dover leveling issue

Yup sounds like a compounding issue. Your car seems to be over-compounded You can run your car up and down on inspect in leveling speed while you have a tach on the drive sheave. Compare the up to down speed. If its pushing down faster compared to the drive up its over-compounded. You'll have to take out some of the series field. The series field is helping the magnetism of the generator output too much. The schematic for the generator field connection should be on the inside cover of the motor connection/generator connection box. I had a mg that needed to be recompounded everytime the weather would change, what a pain and thats in San Diego. Can't imagine what it would be in a more drastic climate region.
