NEW starting problem

[1931 flamingo]

Battery still dead and new meter hasn't arrived yet.


I'm sorry I may have mis-spoke, it does rotate CLOCKWISE.

I will do what was suggested when battery charged.

OK Paul, we're back, and your battery must be charged, and hopefully, your VOM meter is working again. So, let's get your problems solved and get you rollin' again!

Now, you say that you have re-polarized the generator. Let's try a NEW experiment.
__________________________________________________ ____

With your BATTERY disconnect turned-OFF, can you disconnect BOTH wires from the generator? That should be the smaller FIELD wire on the side, and the larger ARMATURE wire at the rear. CAREFULLY BEND BOTH WIRES so that they will NOT touch anything nearby.

Now, turn your BATTERY disconnect switch back to ON.

Now, is the engine ATTEMPTING to TURN-OVER by itself? IF YES, turn your BATTERY disconnect OFF!

So, did ANYTHING happen?
