How do I test the output of the dynamo? I have an extra dynamo which is
sitting on the workbench. Compressed air directed on the vanes of the
pulley allow me to "run it up". Where should I connect a voltmeter to
check the output. I've connected across the terminals but the output
measures only up to a volt or so. I have a good, working generator on
the car and when connecting in a similar manner (after disconnecting the
dynamo wires from the harness) and increasing the engine speed I get
this same low readings. Voltmeter is set to the DC 20v scale.
Thanks,
Pat
