Thanks for the help, seems I may have to suck up the expense tho.
No rain or wind today,was able to get in there and tinker some. Tried the polarizaton routine, got a small spark when I jumpered them for a second, then started the pig up. No charge. I also attempred to jumper it momentarily while it was running with the same result.
Grounded the Field while running with no effect on the voltage readings. So I pulled it out and eyeballed it, read resistance through the armature (dead even all the way around), and can find no sign of damage.
Did finaly get ahold of the mad scientist guy that rebuilt it for me and am taking it to him tomorrow to have him test it.
Also got a used core in the mail today that I may have him rebuild so I have a spare on the shelf. Will be a good idea seein as I had a job today that required me to unload my little truck & trailer by hand. MUCH easier to dump it!


1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "
1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion!
:P
