      *b Lock

      If the result is not as specified, replace the generator pulley with clutch.

  2. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.

      *a Brush Length

      Standard exposed length

      9.5 to 11.5 mm (0.374 to 0.453 in.)

      Minimum exposed length

      4.5 mm (0.177 in.)

      If the brush length is less than the minimum, replace the generator brush holder assembly.

  3. INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check that the generator rotor bearing of the generator rotor assembly is not rough or worn and that it rotates smoothly.

      *a Slip Ring
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 1.36 to 1.76 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

    3. Check the generator rotor assembly for a short to ground.

      *a Slip Ring
      *b Rotor Core
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Slip ring - Rotor core Always 10 MΩ or higher

        If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

    4. Check each slip ring.
      1. Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.

        If the slip rings are rough or scored, replace the generator rotor assembly.

      2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.

        *a Diameter

        Standard diameter

        14.2 to 14.8 mm (0.559 to 0.583 in.)

        Minimum diameter

        14.0 mm (0.551 in.)

        If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the generator rotor assembly.
