[Mgs] Check generator

[Bert Palte]

I tend to disagree.

Just connect the D and F terminals together and connect these, utilizing thick enough test wires, to a car battery, then connect the other battery terminal to the generator housing.

If the generator is spinning and rolling enthousiastically 
off your work bench (be careful!!) then there is a fair chance that it is working correctly.


The trick is that you now test it as being an electromotor 
rather than a generator.
