Good morning group. Am looking for a little help with a Delco Remy starter generator. I found this particular one in an old out building(nice & dry inside).
I have built a test stand using a 120vac/1725rpm motor with a belt drive to a Cub Cadet starter generator mount, also volt meter and ammeter. When I tested this starter generator on Saturday I ran it at 1725rpm(1:1) with motor(using 3" pullies on both). No voltage output from the starter generator. I have the capability using 7" motor pulley and 2 1/2" starter generator pulley to turn the starter generator at 4830rpm. Now, since I have no idea how long this starter generator sat is it possible it needs to be polarized/excited? I checked brushes, springs etc before testing and tings seem to be ok. If polarizing/exciting is warranted how do I go about it? I have excited straight generators(no start function) by putting 12vdc to field terminal but these Delco Remy starter generators have a field terminal and an armature? terminal is well and I don't want to fry anything. Once I get my test sand painted I will try to post a picture. Thanks in advance for comments, answers, teachable moments. Doug May 73, 122, 129
