A dynamo is far less efficient and generates less electricity (perhaps as much as 60 per cent) than an alternator. If either is faulty, the author recommends that they are either taken to a specialist for renovation or exchanged, and that one of these courses of action is taken during a restoration.
When fitting a new-generator, it is advisable to also fit a new drive belt. (See Chapter Three for details of adjusting the belt tension.)
