i am not going to get into componet level testing but i will pass on some quick tests. need to get an amp meter of at least 10 amps but a 30 amp would be best. you can check out harbor freight or a local auto parts store. connect some leads with aligator clips to the meter. remove the two leads from the generator and connect a jumper from the "f" terminal to chassis ground and the positive lead of the amp meter to the "a" terminal. start the engine and run at 2000 rpm and monentarily touch the negative lead of the amp meter to the battery positive terminal. if you get a reading of 10 amps or more, the generator is functional so check wiring or regulator. if you get no reading then the generator is At Fault. there are other test that can be performed on the genetor but it would be better to let a shop do it for more test equipment is needed. note: anytime the wire on the regulator, generator or battery is removed, you must flash the generator after they are connected and before the engine is started by hooking a wire to the battery positive terminal and just make a very momentary touch to the "a" terminal of the generator. failure to do this can result in damage to the charge system.

How do you bench test a Harley Davidson generator?
1 ground the field to the gen. case. Marked "F" 2 with a 12v battery connect the ground the the gen. case 3 jump from pos. side of battery to the "A" post. Gen. should run like a motor.
What are the part of generator?
In construction, dc machine (either generation or motor) consists of 4 parts mainly.. 1: Field Magnets 2:Armature 3:Commutator 4:Brush & brush gear.

What is excitation in generator and 2 methods each?
when the current is passing through the winding then it is called "Excitation". Types of excitation (1)seperately excited generator. (2)self excited generator. self generator is classified into 3 types. 1.shunt generator. 2.series generator. 3.compound generator. compoud generator is again classified into 2 types. 1.short shunt generator. 2.long shunt generator.
How do you test an Ignition coil for a 2003 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic Carborated?
Use an ohmeter to test tesistance where the plug wires connect to the coil-it should read 12,000. now for the the primaray side where the signal wires connect to the coil should be 2-3 ohms.

What are the types of generations?
There are 2 major forms of generators. one is a synchronous generator that converts mechanical power to ac power. the other is a dc generator. there are 5 basic categories of a dc generator: 1)seperately excited generator 2)shunt generator 3)series generator 4)cumulatively compounded generator 5)differentially compounded generator
