ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-4
ROTOR COIL CONTINUITY CHECK
Using the pocket tester, check the continuity between the two
slip rings of the rotor. If there is no continuity, replace the rotor.
Also check that the rotor is insulated.

SLIP RING
If the slip ring surfaces are dirty, charging performance
decreases. Polish the slip ring with #400 or similar fine emery
paper when it is dirty. After polishing it, wipe the slip ring with
a clean dry cloth.
SLIP RING 0.0.
Standard 14.4 mm (0.57 in)
Service Limit: 14.0 mm (0.55 in)
CARBON BRUSH
If the brushes are worn down, charging performance decreas ­
es. Measure the length of the brushes, replacing them when
they are too short or chipping.
Service Limit: 4.5 mm (0.18 in)
RECTIFIER
Check the continuity between terminals and ground. Put one
tester lead to terminal "8" and the other lead to ground or other
terminals ; then swap the two leads. Of the two tester
indications, one should be continuity, and the other should be
infinity (non continuity). If not, replace the rectifier assembly.
