Studenut1915 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Guys my generator seams to be over charing. Any sggestions would be appriciated. At and idle I have 2 to 3 volts, at 1000 rpm about 8 volts, at 1500 rpm 17 to 18 volts. The amps will go past 20 at 1500 rpm . The owners manuual says 7 volts at 10 mph and amps should reach 15 amps at some engine speed but should not exceed 15 amps. I have moved the third brush but it only mde about 2 volts difference at each end of the range at 1500 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startergenrebuilder Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm a little confused by your readings. Your readings should never read as low as 2-3 volts, unless you have a junk battery or extremely heavy draw somewhere. Where are you taking your readings?

Studenut1915 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks Jason. I was doeing my test right off the geneator with the battery not connected. With the battery connected m readings are now in the range you suggested. My wiring is a mess and auto electrical is not one of my strong points. I learned something new today. againn thanks.

Stude Light Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) In case you need the part numbers for the generator to help in your search....the Studebaker part number is 15646 and the Wagner model number is E.M. 114. According to my early parts manuals, the 1915 EC Six is the the only year and model that Studebaker used this generator on. Good luck.Scott Edited March 23, 2013 by Stude Light (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
