Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

If you are getting 0 volts at the armature side of the cut out at fast idle you have a problem, should be
closer to 7 volts. Is your ammeter showing a charge?

Yes, you need voltage FROM the generator to close the points.

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

Your last sentence is correct but your theory of how the cut out works is wrong. The cut out does not
sense battery voltage it senses generator voltage, that is why you have to adjust the third...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

The cut out does not have anything to do with battery voltage, it is just a switch that closes when the
generator voltage gets to around 7 volts. It just keeps battery voltage from feeding back to...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

The + side of the coil would be the ground from the points through the ignition switch if you have a
positive ground system. The voltage you are reading is probably feeding through the primary...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

I didn't go back and read all your posts but have you removed the generator and removed all the
paint and rust from the generator mounting brackets and the timing gear cover where the generator...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

In #4 I don't understand what the condenser connection is. When the light and horn don't
work see if you have battery voltage at both of the studs on the terminal box, if only one side
has...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

I'm still trying to get a handle on your test light / continuity tester. When you are running your test what
is the alligator clip hooked to and if you hook the alligator clip to the probe does the...

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

Never had a test light with a battery, is it just a continuity tester or will it light up if you hook
one side to POS and other to NEG?

Re: Is There An Electrician In The House?

Just a couple of questions that may or may not have any bearing on your problem. Does your test light
have a 6 or 12 volt bulb and where are you getting the power for your test light ( battery,...
