Conclusions
(No
Output)
If
the
generator
will
not
produce
any
output,
check
the
commutator,
brushes
and
internal
con-
nections.
Sticking
brushes,
a
dirty
or
gummy
commutator
or
poor
connections
may
prevent
the
generator
from
producing
any
output.
Solder
thrown
from
the
commutator
riser
bars
indicates
that
the
generator
has
been
overheated
from
ex-
cessive
output.
