It's old school for a reason

Having fitted a generator to my car which had been in storage in the bottom of my wardrobe for a few years I am having a few problems.

It still appears to be good and spins when it's polarised but it gives out a voltage reading that's jumps from anywhere from zero to 14v when tested, brushes seem good and belt is tight

Any suggestion would be welcomed

Thanks in advance

Check that the slots on the commutator aren't bridged with carbon from the brushes  Grin
