0 I replaced the generator head. It has magnets in the roor to self ecite the field. It puts out around 2 volts when running. I suspect that the 36mfd 300 volt capacitor might not be working. It doessn't have any shorts between the leads of the capacitor. I'm not sure how to test the capacitor to see if it is charging to 36 mfd... Mike
