I have 2 heavy Delco generators I need to fix up and sell. THe youboob
gurus show 3 multimeter tests for the armature.
1. Each commutator segment to shaft (short to ground)
2. each commutator segment to the adjoining one. (Consistent
resistance, not 0 or infinity)
3. Commutator segments opposite each other. (Consistent resistance,
not 0 or infinity)
The one I am working on passes these tests.
What nobody tells me is if it is normal to have low ohm continuity from
any commutator segment to any other commutator segment. I'm hoping
somebody here knows.
I was lucky for so many years to have a dependable, reasonable and
reliable auto electric shop where I could just take stuff in and get it
rebuilt as needed. Since those guys are long gone, I need to Figger it
out now. I guess this is normal but would like confirmation. FLAPS
sez they can't test the generators because they are 6v. (numbers not
in their computerized tester...) I know in the old days the shop would
test armatures with a growler, but since I don't have one, I am doing
the ohmmeter tests.
There is one auto electric shop here, but they charge more than the
price of Bosch reman, so they are only for emergency situations.
