4. Shift the transmission into neutral.

CAUTION

Do Not start the engine with the electric starter; as the ammeter will be damaged.

Do Not conduct this test for longer than 10-15 seconds, as the. the alternator windings may overheat.

5. Start the engine with the recoil starter and let idle.

6. The specified amperage is listed in Table 1.

Replace the stator assembly if the amperage is not as specified.

7. Apply dielectric grease to the electrical connectors prior to reconnecting to help seal out moisture.
