INSPECT GENERATOR WITH CLUTCH PULLEY (w/ CLUTCH PULLEY)
When rotating the generator pulley, check that it turns counterclockwise and does not turn clockwise.
INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
Using vernier calipers, measure the brush length.
| Standard length |
|---|
| 10.5 mm (0.413 in.) |
| Minimum length |
|---|
| 4.5 mm (0.177 in.) |
If the length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
Check that the generator rotor bearing is not rough or worn.
If necessary, replace the generator rotor.
Check the rotor for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip rings.
| Standard resistance |
|---|
| 2.3 to 2.7 Ω at 20°C (68°F) |
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
Check the rotor for a short circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each slip ring and rotor.
| Standard resistance |
|---|
| 1 MΩ or higher |
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.
| Standard diameter |
|---|
| 14.2 to 14.4 mm (0.559 to 0.567 in.) |
| Minimum diameter |
|---|
| 14.0 mm (0.551 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor assembly.
