We have a 52 Ferguson, and I wanted to know everything I could learn about generators, because I know nothing about them. I know alternators in and out, and how they work.

I went to test the generator because it's not charging the battery anymore, and my multimeter went nuts. I didn't even touch the contacts. Can you test them? Or do I need an analog tester? because the digital one won't work.

I much prefer my antique Simpson 260 (Analog and Needle of course) VOM. A digital would just flash n change numbers constantly n not tell me nuttin.

Bob said: (quoted from post at 18:44:19 10/28/07) You have it figured out. Use an analog meter.The "noisy" ignition and charging systems on these old machines "freak out" many digital meters.

A reasonably-priced analog meter is plenty accurate for what you are working with.


Ditto what Bob said.
