Re: Generator verses Alternator
Another way to burn out a generator is to move the third brush for max charge. Did you check the gen? It's easy, just remove the belt and jumper past the cutout, and the gen will act like a motor and spin. As mentioned by others, the gens are quite reliable if adjusted correctly.
If you are using a stock charging system, i.e. 6v positive ground, then + to ground, - to starter with a wire from the starter to the T-box thru the amp guage and back to the T-box (other side) and to the gen cut out.
