haykarenhardy 6 Posted September 9, 2007 Am working on a starter generator from a 7016. I have a service manual for 1919-1981 B&S engines. I must have missed polarization for generators or its not there. Must the generator be polarized and would I use a jumper lead from the regulator battery B terminal to the regulator armature "Arm" "Gen" terminal with the engine stopped?

Al 6 Posted September 9, 2007 Hi, These units are automatically polarized the first time they are in Start mode. Al Eden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haykarenhardy 6 Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks for the information. I thought that the generator might not need polarization, but did not want to find out the hard way.:I Stan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
