My thanks to all who replied to my original post , with special thanks to Neon John for being the first to suggest flashing the field . Thanks for sharing. Good thread for those of us with generators that might have future problem. Indeed. Perhaps Terry would be so kind as to write a paragraph describing how he or she flashed the windings of his or her generator. Certainly would ... This generator has slip rings to energize the windings in the rotor , uses a coil in the stator to charge the rotor windings . I had the generator partway disassembled to check for a physical reason for no output . What I did was use the 12V battery from my tractor to energize the field windings on the rotor for about 2 seconds then broke the connection quickly . Got a lot bigger spark when I disconnected ... this is exactly the same procedure used to flash the field windings on a generator like was used in cars and trucks way back when we wuz yoots . Oh , and I am most definitely male , and have the dependents to prove it . I hope you aren't thinking of flashing your dependents to prove you have 'em. Eric |
