<< I'm having some problems with the charging system on my TR3 and
 after reading the manual I'd like to see if someone can verify
 one of the tests it says to perform. The manual says to disconnect
 the wires from the generator, connect a short piece of wire between
 the two connectors on the generator, start the car and measure the
 voltage between these connectors. For some reason I'm a bit concerned
 about jumpering the connectors together. Seems like a short to me
 me. Has anyone tried this?

Drew,

If your generator has been removed from the car, then reinstalled only to find
out that it doesn't work, it may need to be re-polarized.  If that's not the
case, disregard this message.
