Good weekend List,
I found this Moss video to show how to test a generator but now I am a bit
more confused than before I watched it. It shows a voltmeter with the two
leads going off camera and attached to???, I think a battery? Also, it
shows two leads attached to the generator and going to ???, ( as this
appears to be a bench test are they trying to simulate the generator being
in a vehicle?).

My thinking is that I should be able to place the generator on the bench and
spin it at around 3,000RPM and look for a reading in excess of 12 volts. Is
this correct?
Is there a simple proved why to test a generator before re-installing it?
As always, your thoughts and explanations are welcome and appreciated/
All the best,
Bill
