Topic: K5 field coil HELP

[stockscreamer]

Hello everyone, Im having charging issues with the ole' girl. I tested all the charging system before tearing it apart, Everything checked out but the field coil. so I ripped off the covers to discover gaulding on the inside of the field coil in one spot furthest from the dynamo cover  ( closest to the rotor ) Image 1. After checking the field coil again ( removed ) for the hell of it, it checked out at 7 ohms. so i got to looking at the rotor for the contact point from the field coil and sure enough found worse gaulding all the way around the rotor Image 2. I dialed in on the rotor and it shows no runout at all. My question for you all is where should i go from here? any ideas on what caused this?? It has been on its left side before judging from some scratches on the dynamo cover but they dont look that severe.. ANY and all help will be greatly appreciated.

PS i forgot to ask if the field coil making contact with the rotor would cause charging issues??

Okay i think i may have found the issue its the only one i can think of. i measured out the inside of the dynamo cover at each field coil mounting screw location to a flat edge across the gasket surface and found that one of them is sticking up just about 20 thousandths of an inch as compared to the other two which are within a couple thousandths of eachother. The gauld marks on he field coil line up with that particular screw and thats where most of the damage resides on the outside of the dynamo cover also.. so now my question is there anything i can do to make this cover work like shimming the field coil? or maybe machining where the field coil rests on the inside of the cover? I have a feeling shimming wont work because the rotor and field coil are already so close to eachother but im not positive.

Thanks again
