CHECKING DATA
CHECKING THE GENERATOR
Disconnect the yellow wire from the regulator.
Start the engine and increase its speed to 6,000 rpm.
Using a multimeter as an a.c. voltmeter, check that:
voltage between yellow wire and generator earth is
greater than 35 V.
Using a multimeter as an a.c. ammeter, check that:
current between yellow wire and generator earth is
greater 5 A.
CHECKING THE BATTERY
No-load voltage: 12.5 ± 1 V
Electrolyte density: 1.26 at 20° C (68° F)
Check the level of the electrolyte and if necessary top
up with distilled water.
Check for any signs of sulphation and if necessary
replace.
