6-16 ELECTRICAL
GENERATOR SERVICE
1-
Disconnect the positive Iead at the
battery terminal. Remove the hood from
the engine. If the engine has a hand starter,
remove the retaining bolts and lift off the
hand starter. Prevent the shaft from turn-
ing by engaging an open-end wrench with
the flats on the generator shaft underneath
t he pulley. Now, while continuing to hold
the wrench on the shaft, remove the nut
from the top of the generator pulley. Re-
move the cover from the inside of the
generator pulley.
ARMATURE
TERMINAL
2- Remove the generator belt from the
pulley. Use a screwdriver or other similar
tool and pry the puller up and free of the
generator shaft. Hold the generator, and at
the same time remove the nuts from the top
of the generator support bracket, and the
generator is free.
SPECIAL WORDS
In some cases, it is just as easy to
remove the 7/16" bolts securing the bracket
to the engine, and then to remove the
bracket and generator together. The brac-
ket is then removed from the generator.
3- Remove the two wires on the bottom
side of the genera tor. Notice how one
generator stud is smaller than the other and
the electrical connectors are different sizes
to match the studs.
4- Remove the two nuts from the wire
terminals at the bottom of the generator.
Work out the two white insulators from
around the studs. Remove the two thru-
bolts.
