If there is no continuity or if there is a short, replace generator. See GENERATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Check Rotor Coil For Ground - Check to make sure that there is no continuity between the slip rings and the rotor shaft. See Fig 2 . If there is continuity, replace generator. See GENERATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
