I am in the process of restoring the powerhouse generator. I have the rotor motoring just fine and in the right direction. I polarized the field winding. I checked the cutout and all looked like it should work. Here is my problem,when i rotate the generator on a test stand it acts like there is not enough residual magnetism to pull down the upper point, in other words the generator is not charging. I have checked everything that i can and don't see anything that can keep it from charging. I am missing something here and need your all's help to solve this mystery.
