When I logged back in here today, WOW, I found your feedback all over the map. This has happened before, and it has me quite perplexed. I'm now feeling like a jinx. I've jinxed my tractor, now it looks like I've jinxed this board. LOL Please tell me it isn't so. Halloween has come and gone, but apparently there's still some gremlins lurking about. LOL
As per John t's instructions:
[[[[If you havent polarized, you may wanna do that just to make sure!!!!!! Temporarily ground the Gens Field post to case then momentarily flash jump a wire from the VR"s BAT terminal over to its ARM (or GEN) terminal (or direct to ARM post on Gen) and you ought to get a spark. Always try the simple fixes first!!!!]]]
I first grounded the F terminal of the genny to it's body. Then jumped the 'BAT' terminal of the cutout to the 'A' terminal of the genny, and nothing happened. By that I mean no sparks at all. Did I do that correctly?
From your responses and questions asked, I feel that I didn't make myself clear enough to my situation. Here's a review.
1. It's a '49 model M with 6 volt system and magneto ignition. (runs good, starts easy)
2. It has what appears to be an original factory delco-remy cutout relay.
3. It has a new wiring harness, and is wired as per wiring schematic #4, all doubled checked.
4. It has an aftermarket reproduction 4 position switch.
5. It has a new ammeter that worked real good before when tractor had distributor ignition with the same cutout..
6. Everything doubled checked for good grounding, but still no lights.
7. It also has a new single prong ignition switch going to the mag.
That about covers it. I'm going back out to the shop and take a good look at the generator brushes and see what they look like after I post this.
TIA and best regards.
Patrick
'49M
