Unregulated Field Test
Perform an unregulated field test on the generator to determine whether
the generator has stopped functioning or whether the problem lies
elsewhere (like the regulator).
-
Remove the D+ wire from the generator (the big red wire). Tape it so it
doesn't start a fire.
-
Remove the DF wire from the generator (green wire).
-
Connect the voltmeter to the D+ generator terminal and to ground.
-
Start the engine
-
BRIEFLY short the DF generator connection to ground. (If you short it for
more than 5 seconds and the generator is working, you will BURN OUT THE
GENERATOR.
When the DF was grounded, did the voltmeter:
register nothing
show as much as 30 volts generated
