No-Load Test

Verify battery condition. Charge or replace battery as necessary. Connect voltmeter positive lead to B+ terminal on generator and negative lead to ground. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM with no electrical load (accessories off). Read voltmeter when voltage stabilizes. Voltage should be 13-15 volts. If voltage is not as specified, replace generator. See GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
