Starter direction
To test my generator on a 2007, club car, can I do it before the voltage regulator and if so where to put the test leads, should I ground the field? Then test from there and the charging wire. I took the generator off and tested it on a pulley test stand running and it showed 20 volts running backwards, but the guy thought it was a ccw gen. And had the leads to reverse it switched when he tested it, I am assuming that is irrevelant.

Re: Starter direction
The first test should be a continuity test to make sure you have no internal short. Disconnect all the wires to S/G. Place the - probe on the S/G housing and test each terminal with + probe. You should NOT have any continuity between housing and any post. if you do, then the armature is grounding to the field or a brush wire is grounding to the housing.

Re: Starter direction
I'm assuming you want to test voltage output and not starter function? The next test is to disconnect the small DF terminal wire and use a jumper wire from the DF terminal to the A2 terminal. Run the engine at full speed and check battery voltage. Should be putting out 15V or so.
Quix: When you post a question, make sure to clarify the issue/problem you are having. The more info the better. |

Re: Starter direction
Oh yeah.... Make sure the disconnected DF wire doesn't touch anything. Tape it to make sure.
