[QUOTE="Barx, post: 473555, member: 121"] Ok, new genny turned up today. Looks pretty much same except a few bits of metal are different shape etc. I whipped the cover off the alternator (after checking that it works fine first), removed connections to brushes and tested between the brushes (which are obviously connected to the slip rings. 60 Ohms!!! Tried it both ways too to see if there are any diodes in place and got same reading both ways. So, looks like the rotor is indeed kaput on the old one. [/QUOTE]
