Hotrod, I didn't do your test because I didn't see this second page of responses by you guys till now. I thought no one had responded to my question about polarizing because I didn't notice the responses to it were on page 2!
Well, now I'm on the same page, literally, and will do your test. Is it possible I'll get the generator to spin with voltage applied to it, but that it won't produce enough voltage because the brushes are worn or some other internal problem?
I'll check the ammeter too.
Thanks for your responses.
