I have completely forgotten to look at the electric circuitry, since the lights went out on the fatal trip last year. After dismantling the Dynamo, I saw that the armature had been so warm that the soldering tin has heated beyond fluid and have been centrifuged off the armature, to form a ring on the inside of the dynamos shell!!

And the Field coil did look a bit suspicious, so I ended up giving the dynamo a complete overhaul.

Remember - If you ever encounter this phenomenon on your dynamo, and you are planning on fixing this your self, then remember to check the bush plate (plate where you mount the coals), because the heat generated will make the bush plate brittle, and will break under little stress. This should changed. 

I will try to make an autopsy of both the Field coil, to se if it is possible for a mortal to make one by off the shelf products.

When looking closer at the electrical circuitry, I needed to know more about the charge relay box, so I came across the following PDF documents on the net:

Lucas Workshop Instructions for "Motor Cycle Control Box" - TYPE: MCR2
