Re: Generator 101
if you get continuity through the A1-A2 connection, the brushes and the windings on the armature are not likely the issue since you say you are not getting any reaction at all when you connect power. something here just does not make sense. if you have properly tested and all tests are ok, the circuit should at least produce a few sparks when you connect, even if it does not spin well. what ever the case, at this point, I believe you will have to take the generator apart and look for problems inside. Just to be clear, when you tested it with the jumper cables, you did have the A2-F1 short lead in place correct?
