On the '49 Triumph, I used to have to light a match to go see if the lights were still on. The lights took about 2 more amps than the dynamo could make, so it all balanced out at around 4 volts.



The headlight on my T110 did the same back in those days you didn't need headlights in the daytime.Now you do, but then I'd get about 3/4ths of the way to the "Party house"we'd meet at and the light's would dim.put it in third and give it higher revs and the dynamo would pick the lights up. Those were the days.
