Ammeter

[Purdy Swoft]

Will the generator motor?

 

[Tom Wesenberg]

So is the consensus a bad cut out?

No, something isn't adding up.
How did you measure 12 when you say you have a 6 volt battery and generator?

Hi Dtolson,

You are most correct, i.e., patience is the key.

Mr. Wessenberg's reply no. 22 appears to be right on.

1. With engine running at medium fast idle, with analog meter, (not digital), with meter DC setting no higher than 10V, please verify:

A. DC voltage between (+) & (-) post at battery.

B. DC voltage between hot side of battery & ground on "engine", not frame.

C. Then re-verify DC voltage between generator output & engine.

D. DC reading, (If any), between driver's side & passenger's side of the two (2) rear ammeter bolts.


2. Again, with engine running at medium fast idle, with analog meter, (not digital), with meter OHM setting at lowest reading, please verify:

A. Ohms reading when touching meter's red & black wire.

B. Next, please verify Ohms reading between battery ground & a good ground on the "engine", not the frame.

Please report your most interesting findings exactly as specified above.

12 volts ? where ?
