Let me clear up some confusion:
My ammeter never pegs out. At idle it will show a slight discharge. When revved, it will swing to about HALFWAY up the charging side.
On a side note, I picked up a generator at a swap meet this weekend. I think it's out of a 54', so I should have some spare parts to mess with.
As I understand, you should be able to see small gaps between the bars of the commutator, otherwise it's worn down too far.. correct??
Thanks Guys
