1. Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: Frank Clarici <spritenut@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 21:35:31 -0400; I hope I am doing something wrong or I have 7 dead generators. I thought if I spun it with an impact wrench I would get some volts out of the back of it. 4 of them showed almost a whole volt, 3 of th; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00525.html (7,258 bytes)

Re: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "Dan" <dwalters63@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 21:59:00 -0400; Frank, my '63 has the gen light come on in the gauge at idle (~1000 rpm) and goes off once under way - your impact wrench spinning greater that 1500 rpm? No sure but with the small pulley on the gen; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00526.html (7,932 bytes)

RE: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "Hal Faulkner" <hal@katemuir.com>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 19:06:59 -0700; I think that you need some kind of a load on the generator in order to develop current in the field coils. Try hooking them up across a headlamp and see if that makes any difference. Hal I hope I am; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00527.html (7,686 bytes)

5. Re: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "K. Valentine" <kevin@valentinephoto.net>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 22:57:02 -0400; Frank, I think you need a draw on the genny to make volts.... Also a genny that has been sitting for a long time may need to be "polarized" to produce volts. Remember "flicking" the positive wire fro; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00531.html (7,300 bytes)

Re: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "Mark" <mark@nashvilletn.org>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 22:21:34 -0500; Tie the two terminals on the generator together, put test leads on the junction of the two terminals and the other on the case. Then spin it, a good one will give you about 20-25 volts. Mark Nashvil; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00532.html (7,510 bytes)
7. RE: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "Duncan Sinclair" <duncan@pondhop.com>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 23:31:07 -0500; Exactly Mark I think :) The generator requires voltage in the field windings to produce the magnetic field before it will generate. This is how the regulator regulates current, by switching the volta; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00533.html (7,712 bytes)
8. Re: Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: "John D'Agostino" <john.dagostino@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 06:29:16 -0400; The easiest way to check a generator that I've found is to put +12 volts to the terminal from the battery, ground to the case. It should turn like a motor, if it does it's most likely good. J 14-18?; /html/spridgets/2006-06/msg00535.html (8,128 bytes)

No wonder I run alternators on all my LBCs. Thanks for all the tips. But I still ended up with 3 gennys that put out almost 1 volt.

Generator bench test (score: 1): Author: Frank Clarici <spritenut@comcast.net>; Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 16:44:37 -0500; I seem to have lost the replys I got the last time I was in generator test mode. I have a bunch or generators and none seem to charge. How do you bench test a generator? I can spin it. -- Frank Clari; /html/spridgets/2007-03/msg00590.html (6,567 bytes)
