How do I test my 6 volt generator? - The Stovebolt Forum
2013年7月8日 · Senor Lincoln, realizing this forum is very old BUT I have a question. I followed your advice (thank you) on my '54 3600 (all original) and everything checked out as far as the generator and wiring. over 1/2 volt at the armature terminal on the generator, re-hook wiring up and there is a voltage increases as you rev the motor, check at the regulator as you suggested and it's the same, so the ...
Bench testing an old 6-volt generator...how to? - Team Chevelle
2012年2月3日 · I'm working on a '51 Flathead 6-cylinder engine. The generator is a 6-volt type and has not been run for many years. In it's original condition, I bench tested it as-is. My method was to hook up a voltmeter to the output and ground terminals. Then I took a 20-foot long piece of twine and wrapped it around the belt pulley.
Six Volt DC Charging System -- Stovebolt Tech Tip
Let's look at some of the differences in DC generator and alternator systems, and how to keep that 6-volt Stovebolt generator operating at peak efficiency. The basic difference in generators and alternators is the way the charging current is produced. The generator produces charging current in the armature, the rotating part of the unit.

6 Volt generator field terminal - The Stovebolt Forum
2023年3月26日 · On a 6 Volt Delco generator on a '50 3100, which of the two terminals is the field terminal and which one is the armature terminal. I'm thinking I have my wires crossed, because with a new voltage regulator and having done the polarization at the regulator, I still get a discharge indication on my gauge in the truck.
6 volt generator to 12 volt alternator - The Stovebolt Forum
2020年2月20日 · I’m looking to change my 1951 Chevy truck 3100 from a stock 6 volt generator to a new 12 volt alternator electrical system. I’ve put a 1969 c10 250 in so that’s my main reason for the change. I have a new ac Delco alternator with an internal voltage regulator and I’ve purchased a new wiring harness from classic truck parts that is ...
How do I test my 6 volt generator? - The Stovebolt Forum
2013年7月8日 · Do not allow it to go above 8 volts or so. If it will do that, you've got a generator that's capable of charging the battery. If it's not charging, the trouble is in the regulator or the wiring. Do the same series of tests- - - -ground the Field wire and measure voltage at the ARM wire of the regulator to check the condition of the wiring. Jerry

How to test 12V generator - The Stovebolt Forum
2018年8月23日 · Do not allow it to go above 15-16 volts. If the above tests are good, your generator is OK. Check the voltage at the voltage at the BAT terminal of the regulator with the engine at fast idle. If it is not within a couple of tenths of a volt of the ARM terminal, you have a bad regulator, dirty regulator points, or one that's out of adjustment.
Stovebolt Tech Tip -- 12 Volt Conversion
Yes, because the 6-volt system produces twice the amperage of the 12-volt system. So, the 6-volt harness is actually heavier than needed for the 12-volt conversion. With that out of the way: Disconnect and remove the 6-volt battery. If you discard it, make sure you do so properly. Used Lead acid batteries are hazardous waste, so please dispose ...
