So after I finished replacing the bearings, brushes and checked the diodes I slapped it all back together and took it to my local Advance Auto store for them to run a test for me. Amazingly they had the right clip to plug it up with. Once they spun it up it came up with a diagnosis that it fails to show a charge. The guy asked me if the voltage regulator was internal or external. I told him its external and his reply was that makes this a generator then and we cant test generators.
Ok so I asked my buddy his opinion since he works on lots of old stuff. He said just lock it down in a vise on the benchtop and spin it with a cordless drill hook the test leads to your volt/ohm meter and see what voltage it reads. Bada bing bada boom! It put out 30 plus volts. |
