You don't need to be an electrical genius to figure that one out !!!

(Can you get 6v 60w bulbs ??)


Thats why folks used to go to the 12v conversion of these gennies.

Since you can pull (nearly) the same amps out of them at 12v as at 6v,

they then give nearly 100w - although as mentioned they will run warm.


WD40 is actually quite good on electrical components. And says so on the can.

It was its lubricating qualities on the carbon brushes that caused problems though,

and their worn shape then meant there was no electrical connection...

But the squeak did go away !
