still have generator problems

Posted by ol' Roy on July 02, 2004 at 18:40:39 from (205.188.117.22):

just had the generator rebuilt for my 43H and still don't think its right.They replaced the cutout with a regulator.I only get about 6.6-6.7 volts across the battery.I get 7 volts at the "A" terminal when grounding to the generator frame,but only 6.6-6.7 at the batt terminal on the regulator. Seems to me I should have to be getting 7 volts there to be getting it at the battery.I took the cover off the regulator the first night to see if all looked ok,I noticed that the taller set of contacts [right side] was sparking as it ran,tonight I took the cover off and no spark at these contacts.This weekend I'm going to clean and check every electrical connection from grille to drawbar and see what I can find.Also put in a new ammeter and it discharges when switch is turned on but barely moves past 0 when running.I've polarized it but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.If I can't get this thing figured out over the holiday,it will be going back to the shop on tuesday.Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice.
