.
• Measure the resistance among the three lead wires.
If the resistance is not specified value, replace the stator with
a new one. Also, check that the generator core is insulated.

NOTE:
When making above test, it is not necessary to remove the gen-

GENERATOR NO-LOAD PERFORMANCE
• Disconnect the generator coupler. (

Above)
• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min.
• Using the multi-circuit tester, measure the voltage among the
three lead wires.
If the tester reads under the specified value, replace the gen-
erator with a new one.

Generator no-load performance:
80 V and more at 5 000 r/min (When engine is cold)
