I have a T 100 68 and notice the ammeter needle  ( Lucas type) stays in the centre of the dial just fluctuating left to right very slightly even at cruising speed 50/60 mph,

 with the engine running and multimeter on the battery I get a constant reading of 13 + volts am I to assume the ammeter has had its time looks like the original from 68 or can it be overhauled

PS after a ride the battery always shows in the region of 12.7 +

mini-me:
it's like that because the battery is fully charged.

time to worry is when its on full discharge all the time.

iansoady:
... or full charge........

dynamic:
thanks for the posts guys I will ride on of peaceful mind/uneducated bliss

PS. my kickstart spring has 2 inch of "slack" is it difficult to change the return spring ?

Rex:
That's the trouble with ammeters, oil pressure gauges etc...more sh*t to worry about. As for the k/s spring do you mean 2" before the ratchet engages?
