I remember such a test in the manual for my Spridget. I was left stranded in
the rain by a dead battery. Nursed the sucker home after charging it with the
Suburban.
I found the info in the (Bentley reprint?) of the shop manual. Took a generator
off a spare engine and did the test, the old one tested bad, the spare one
tested
good. I had no more charging problems until I sold the car.
Yes, there is a specific off-car test for Lucas generators. No, I don't
remember
how to perform it.
Why not take the generator to the nearest decent car-parts joint and let them
put it on their generator tester?
