At idle my battery charge light thingy majig glows red...is this just because the dynamo doesn't output much at idle?? When I rev the engine or start driving the light goes out immediately.
My ignition warning light goes out as soon as I start the engine, I think my idling speed is too high anyway. Have found the right screw on the carb, which way should you turn it to lower the speed?
Should the ignition warning light be slightly on if the idle speed is correct?

You screw it out to reduce the speed (try it and see! ).

Probably, it depends a bit on the engine. If the engine tends to stall at junctions, increase the idle speed a little.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
If the unit is about 10 inches long, cylindrical (a bit like a thinner version of the starter motor) then it's a dynamo. If it's shorter, fatter and made of aluminium with black plastic covers at the back, it's an alternator..
