Guyfang said something about l have exciter voltage but the generator would not light off. I have checked resistances on stator and think they are okay. To check for a short I just connect one lead to body of gen head and other lead to each pin of J9 and J10? Since the exciter produces a little...

I think somehow I uploaded it twice. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. All help is appreciated. I may be able to work on it some Monday.

Only an ohm meter

Thanks so much for the information!

I will try that.

How do I read gen windings? As far as I know rotating diodes are ok.

Convenience outlet update. It reads 0.3v AC but when I hold start to flash field it climbs to 28v AC.

I noticed on the other thread that you folks shared that the gentleman read the generator windings. I don’t know where to read them. Rotating diodes seem to be okay. CTV has one reading slightly low at 2.0 ohms (H3-H4). CT1 readings are a little high at .7, .7, and .65. Generator windings would...

On CT1 1A-2A 0.55 1B - 2B. 0.55 1C - 2C. 0.7 Is this enough of a difference to cause a problem?

Thanks! I will check it out.

All help is appreciated!

I have a TM for it. I checked CT1 (not CVT) and 1C to 2C reads 0.2 ohms instead of 0.5. Do I need to unhook all the wires to read it, or only the terminals I’m testing?

Okay thanks

Everything looks okay

No power at convenience outlets.

It’s outside and covered. Just quit producing power this week. We’ve been using it daily. I switched out the voltage regulator, looked at the spinning diodes (did not test them) and I did move the switch back and forth. Still no power. I have not been in the box where the output wires come out yet.

Runs fine. Quit producing power. Moved start switch to flash field, did not help. What could it be?
