4.15.4 Using the Ohms scale on your multimeter, check the resistance of the
excitation winding. Access the excitation winding via the connector
where the two yellow wires of the plug connect to it. Each generator
size will have a different value for the winding resistance. Check the
chart in the graphic for the correct values—use a tolerance of +0.5/-0.0
Ohm.
• If the correct amount of resistance was not measured, replace
the stator.
• If the correct amount of resistance was measured, continue.
4.15.5 Check the excitation winding for resistance to ground. (Measure
resistance between the winding and the ground stud of the stator.
Measure both sides of the winding.)
• If there is resistance to ground, the excitation winding has failed,
replace the stator.
• If there is no resistance to ground, the excitation winding is OK.
