For some one with advanced knowledge. The brush that has the screw.
Is that the Adjustable brush? The Generator does not put out any current?
I am taking my readings from the front post ahead of the Cut out to the body of the Generator. I get no current flow. Should I try to move the brush with the screw shown here? If I still get no current flow. What is my best bet to rebuild the Powerhouse Generator? This is on a 1928 AR. I get 6.71 Volts at the screw at the back of the cutout, but this should be the battery voltage.

Is it possible that there is no current flow at all but by adjusting the brush there will be?
