Hello Jesse, thank you for your awesome video. I have done the test as you explained for the 32E generator, but cannot get it to spin. I question though which coil is the regulating coil and which one is the shunt coil. I may have things hooked up backwards. Is there any way to determine which is which please?

@@mogdefender8520 The shunt coil is originally marked with a white identification mark and the regulating field coil has a orange identification mark, another way of identifying is the wires on the shunt coil are close together and the regulating coil there around an inch or so separated from each other,

@@jessesvintagegarage765 Hello jesse, thank you for your reply. Turns out I did have it hooked up correctly, but I determined which was which by measuring the resistance through each coil. The regulating coil has a lower resistance since it was wound with larger wire (#22) and the shunt coil was wired with smaller #24 wire and has therefore a higher resistance. I have hooked things up as shown in your video but it fails to rotate when hooked up to a charged 6 volt battery. You can see the shaft shudder a tiny bit every now and then but that's about it. Possibly the armature has failed?

@@mogdefender8520 Ya it’s rough taking these apart and putting them back together constantly to check one component at a time and checking the armature is possible in my video rebuilding a model 61 Harley Davidson generator we go over how to check the armature for bad spots and what you are describing sounds like your armature has bad spots,
