generator no output

[apprentice87]

flashing the windings does make the engine slow slightly, so it is obviously having an effect on the rotor.  just it wont build up charge.

the voltage i am getting is reading at 50.8-53hz. so i know the engine is up to speed

I thought you had to flash the windings with the motor off??????

iv always understood you had to flash it with it running.   the flashing being to kick it into producing power.  which it wont if the engine is not running

Flashing a stator winding with the generator running is bloody dangerous!
