I have no intention of moving the reg but I was thinking of tying in the capacitor to that harness wire that runs under the cowl that it would normaly attach to at the term block
"A quick spark when connecting is normal, that's the capacitor charging."
Heck I thought that was bad when it sparked
Is it possible to put the capacitor back on further down the line being I have the A.S.K back on makes it a PITA to remove it all again to get back to the regulator
Ok
I found a old cheapy analog meter I had in my truck so I tested the capaciter and it spiked and then went to open so I put everything back together which included my new to me stator and a NOS Volt reg ( sandblasted and painted the blower while it was off ) went to hook up the batt and it...
OK
If I set the meter for continuity the horn will give a brief chirp then show open ( I think I'm saying it right ) it then won't do anything until I reverse the probes and then it'll chirp again then go to open ....is that good....It won't do anything on other meter settings with 400 being...
OK
went to my local Mil surplus yard today ( Shirleys ) and got a stator from another 003A for $85 ( I had to pull it ) I also took the capacitor from that unit, the capacitor had 50UF75V printed on it so I goggled it to find that these go for around $50ea :shock: Is there any way I can test the...
Thanks Speddmon
I read one of your older posts about testing the stator and mine grounds out so along with a VR I'm gonna have to go for a stator to or maybe just go buy a 24v 4amp charger and just plug it into the 110 outlet on the genset.
P.S. does anyone know if 002a's and 003A (DC) stators are the same? I know the part# for the 003A is NSN2920-01-048-9075 (FWA3001) Can't find a # for the 002A
OO3A DC Voltage reg ?
OK
After pulling the front cowl on my 003A to get to the VR, I noticed what I believe is the capaciter with a disconnected wire, From what I've read one wire should be run to ground and the other to the red taped wire on the terminal block..Right? Also when I go and...
