Nice. Congrats!

+1. There are some reasonable options for a full featured instrument that won't kill your wallet.

I highly recommend getting a meter with a frequency readout. There are a number of measurements that will require it. You shouldn't trust the HZ readout until we know what is going on with the governor. One reading you can take with a normal voltmeter is the exciter voltage. Those are...

It will be a digital pulse train.

The magnet pickup does go to the governor module. According to the electrical drawing its on terminals (16) and (17).

On page 141 of the TM is the pinout of the diagnostic connector. I think most of what you'll need to test is there. I'm looking in the manual now to see the first thing to test. Lets see if we can get you a RPM test doable with what you have.

If you have a HZ reading on your Voltmeter you can check the frequency. HZ is RPM on these generators but when they are run too slow they can't generate enough current on the exciter. The bonding jumper wont be the source of this problem. First check your RPM if you can and then lets figure...

Do you have the TM? The troubleshooting section for the governor starts on page 227. Give this a look and see if it helps. I'm going to look up the module number and see if its like the ones I've worked on before...
