Generator pegging ammeter
Alrighty y'all, got a good one for you. i'm overhauling a generator for a friend, the old windings were shot so i replaced them with new ones, and i fully reassembled it and tested it on my A, when i did with the diode cutout he bought i got no charge whatsoever, keep that in mind, then i tested it with my known good relay cutout and got a much more interesting result, when the engine rpms went over a certain point the ammeter pegged on a heavy discharge until i returned to idle. now i wired the brushes according to the standard wiring diagram and i put the new windings in the same position as they came out as far as i know, but given the way it's acting to me it's like a reverse polarity in the generator. now it motors clockwise facing the pulley fine, but it refuses to charge. it's being obstinate with me.
