(2) Field coil
(a) Testing for open circuit
If there is no continuity between the lead wire
and positive
(+)
brush, the field coil is open
and the yoke assembly should be replaced.
(b) Testing for grounded circuit
If there is any continuity between the yoke
and positive
(+)
brush, check the insulation
and repair or replace the yoke assembly.
