>> The Generator that was on the airplane was taken to a shop in Lakeland and pronounced "burnt".
Folks: It is very easy to test the generator on the plane. The test is difinitive. Disconnect the ground from the battery. Remove all the wires from the generator. Connect a volt meter between the armature of the generator and the generator case (ground). Connect a jumper wire from the field terminal to the generator case. Start the engine. Voltage should track RPMs and reach 13-14 volts by the time you get to about 1500 RPM (probably sooner). If this test fails connect the volt meter from the field terminal to ground and repeat. If you get a volt or two, the geerator is bad. If you get nothing flash the field then repeat the first test. John Cooper Skyport Services www.skyportservices.net
