Test Procedure

a.
Circuit
Breaker—Connect
an ammeter in series between the regulator B-terminal and the lead
wire
removed from that terminal. Connect a
voltmeter between the regulator
A-terminal
and the regulator mounting base. Disconnect the field lead

from
the regulator
F-terminal
and insert a variable resistance (3 amp., 50 ohm capacity) between the

lead
and the regulator terminal. Run the generator
at about 1000 generator rpm. Insert all the re­
sistance in the field
circuit,
then slowly reduce the
resistance noting the voltage reading just before the change caused by the closing of the circuit

breaker.
Increase the charging rate to the figure
specified for the regulator being tested then reduce
the charging rate by inserting resistance in the
field
circuit.
Note
the voltmeter and ammeter

reading
just before the circuit breaker
opens
and
the ammeter reading drops to zero. The closing voltage and the opening voltage or current should
be within the limits specified. An accurate method
for noting the exact instant of the opening or closing
of the circuit breaker is to connect a headphone (2000 ohms or higher) to the battery and armature

terminals
of the regulator. When the contacts
open or close a
click
will
be
heard
in the headphones.
To
adjust the closing voltage change the armature

spring
tension by bending the hanger at the lower end of the spring. Increase the spring tension to

raise
the closing voltage or decrease the tension
to lower the closing voltage. To adjust the opening voltage raise or lower the stationary contact
keeping the contacts perfectly aligned. Increasing
the contact gap lowers the opening
'
voltage.
Change
the contact gap by expanding or contract­
ing the stationary contact bracket, keeping the
contacts aligned. Do not adjust the gap between
the contacts to less than the specified minimum.

b.
Voltage Regulator—Connect the ammeter as in

step
a. Connect the voltmeter between the regulator
B-terminal
and the regulator base. Remove the

variable
resistance from the field
circuit.
Run the
generator at
half
output for 15 minutes to bring
the regulator to normal operating temperature.

Keep
the cover on the regulator during the
warm-

up period and also when taking readings.
Stop the engine then bring it up to approximately 2500 generator rpm. Adjust the amperage to
half

maximum
output by turning on lights or accessor­
ies and then
note
the voltmeter reading.
This
read­

ing should be within the limits specified for the voltage regulator operation. To adjust the oper­
ating voltage change the
armature
spring tension by
bending the hanger at the lower end of the
arma­

ture
spring. After each adjustment
stop
the engine then restart it.
Bring
it up to speed and adjust the

current
before taking a reading. In order to obtain

an
accurate indication of the operation of the volt­
age regulator unit connect a headphone (2000 ohm

or
higher) between the
F-terminal
and ground to

pick
up the sound of the opening and closing of the
contacts. The clicks should be regular and clear without irregularities or missing. If the
tone
is not

clear
and regular remove the regulator cover and
inspect the contacts. The contacts should be flat
and
not burned excessively and should be aligned
to make
full
face contact. If the contacts need
cleaning refer to paragraph d for the method.

c.
Current
Regulator—Connect the regulator and the
test
equipment as in
step
b. Running the generator at approximately 3000 generator rpm.,

turn
on lights and accessories so that the generator must charge at maximum rate. The ammeter should give a reading within the limits specified.

To
adjust opening amperage, change the armature

spring
tension by bending the hanger at the lower
end of the armature spring. After each adjustment,

stop
the engine, then restart it.
Bring
the engine up to speed and take an ammeter reading. Keep
the cover on the regulator when taking
these

readings.

Connect
a headphone (2000 ohms or higher) be­
tween the regulator
F-terminal
and ground to pick
up the sound of opening and closing of the contacts.

Clear,
regular clicks should be heard over the
headphones; they should not be
irregular
or missing.
If
the
tone
is not clear and regular remove the
regulator cover and inspect the contacts. The
contacts should be flat and not burned excessively

and
should be aligned to make
full
face contact. If
the contacts need cleaning refer to paragraph d.
below for the method.

d.
Contacts—Inspect the contacts on all three
units.
In normal use the contacts
will
become

grayed.
If the contacts are burned or dirty or if they are not smooth, file the contacts with a #6

American,
Swiss cut, equalling file. Move the file

parallel
and lengthwise to the armature.
File
just
enough so that the contacts present a smooth
sur­

face toward each other. It is not necessary to remove every trace of pitting. After filing, dampen

a
piece of linen or lintless bond tape in refined

carbon
tetrachloride and draw the tape between
the contacts. Repeat with a dry piece of tape. Use
clean
tape for each set of contacts.
e. Recheck—Operate the unit at
half
maximum
output for five minutes with the cover on the regu­

lator.
Repeat the testing procedure for all units as described in a, b, c above. Be sure cover is on regu­

lator
when taking readings.

Checks

H-49.
Low Charging Rate with a
Fully
Charged
Battery

A
fully charged battery and a low charging rate
indicates normal regulator operation.
A
further check of the regulator operation can be
made by using the starting motor for 5 to 10
seconds with the ignition switch in the "off" posi­ tion.
Then
start the engine and operate at a genera­
tor speed of 2500 to 3000 rpm. The charging rate should rise to its maximum value then taper off to

a
minimum charge as the battery becomes charged.

STARTING MOTOR
—
DELCO
DAUNTLESS
V-6
ENGINE

Refer
to Fig. H-45.

The
starting motor used on the Dauntless V-6 en­

gine
has an integral solenoid switch and enclosed
shift lever which first shifts the overrunning clutch
pinion into
engagement
with the ring gear on the
flywheel of the
engine
and then
closes
the electrical
circuit
to cause
engine
cranking. When the
engine

starts,
the overrunning clutch
disengages
to pre­ vent transfer of
engine
speed to the starting motor.

Note:
Should a service replacement starter motor
be required the factory recommends replacement

with
original equipment parts; however, should the need arise an existing starter motor (Delco or
Prestolite) could be replaced with the current
Delco-Remy
starter, model 1108375, with the
following modifications to the wiring harness. If
the existing starter motor wiring harness
does
not
provide a 12 ga. purple conduit wire, (connects the ignition switch to the starter motor) then a 12 ga.

purple
conduit wire 70 inches long, must be in­

stalled.
Should the existing starter motor wiring
harness
contain a 16 ga. light blue conduit wire, (connects the ignition switch and starter motor)
bend this wire back and tape out of the way.

H-109.
Starting Motor Disassembly
a.
Before removing the starting motor from the
engine, disconnect leads and cover battery lead

terminal

Cleaning and
Inspection

a.
Wipe all parts clean with clean cloths. The
arma­
ture,
field coils, and drive assembly must not be
cleaned by any degreasing or high temperature
method.
This
might damage insulation so that a
short
circuit
or ground would subsequently develop.
It
would also remove lubricant originally packed

in
the overrunning clutch so that clutch would

soon
be ruined.

b.
Carefully
inspect all parts visually for wear or
damage. Make necessary repairs or replace unserv­
iceable parts. Any soldering must be
done
with

rosin
flux.

Note:
Never use acid flux when solding any elec­

trical
connections and never use emery cloth to
clean
armature
commutator or other
electrical
units. 208

Brushes

Check
brush length. If brushes are worn to one-

half
their original length, replace them. Also check
for
cracks,
chips, damaged mounting holes, oil

saturation,
or other damage; replace brushes.

H-112.
Commutator

Check
the commutator for wear and discoloration.
If
the commutator is rough or worn the armature
should be removed and the commutator turned
down in a lathe. A discolored commutator should
be cleaned with carbon tetrachloride and inspected.

Scratches
on the commutator may be removed

with
sand paper. Use compressed air to remove

sand
particles after cleaning.

H-113.
Armature

Visually
inspect the armature for mechanical

defects
before checking for shorted or grounded
coils. Use a set of
test
probes for testing armature

circuits.
To
test
the armature for grounds, touch
one point of the
test
probes to a commutator
seg­
ment and touch the other point to the core or shaft.
Do not touch the points to the bearing surface or
to the brush surface as the arc formed
will
burn
the smooth finish. If the lamp lights, the coil con­
nected to the commutator
segment
is grounded.

H-114.
Field
Coils

Using
test
probes, check the field coils for both ground and open circuits. To
test
for ground, place
one probe on the motor frame or
pole
piece and
touch the other probe to the field coil terminals.
If
a ground is present, the lamp
will
light.

To
test
for open circuits, place the probes on the
field coil terminal and on an insulated
brush.
If
the light
does
not light, the coil is open circuited.

H-115.
Brush
Holder Inspection

Inspect
brush
holders for distortion, wear, and other
damage.
Check
that brush holders pivot freely on

their
pivot pins.
Check
brush spring tension with

a
spring scale. Hook the spring scale under the
brush
holder at the brush and
pull
on a line
paral­

lel
to the side of the
brush.
Note
scale reading just
as brush leaves commutator. Tension must be 35 oz. [9,925 kg.] minimum. Replace brush springs
if
tension is insufficient.

coil
leads through rubber bushing in field
frame.

h.
Position field frame assembly over armature as­
sembly so that its dowel pin
engages
the
hole
in

drive
housing. Use care to prevent damage to brushes and brush holders. Make sure that brushes

are
properly sealed on commutator.

i.
Install
leather thrust washer on commutator end
of armature assembly.
Lubricate
bearing in com­
mutator end frame with silicone grease and position
end frame to field frame so that armature shaft
enters bearing. Secure field frame and end frame
to drive housing with two
thru
bolts. Connect field leads to motor terminal of solenoid with connect­ing nut.

j.
Whenever the starting motor is disassembled
and
reassembled, the pinion clearance should be
checked.
This
is to make sure that proper clear­
ance exists
between
the pinion and the pinion

stop
retainer when pinion is in cranking position.

Lack
of clearance would prevent solenoid starter

switch
from closing properly; too much clearance
would cause improper pinion
engagement
in ring gear.

k.
Supply 6 volts (3 battery cells or a
6-volt
bat­

tery)
between
S terminal of the solenoid and ground (starter frame).
Caution:
Do not supply more than 6 volts or the
motor
will
operate. As a further precaution to
prevent motor operation, connect a heavy jumper

wire
from the solenoid motor terminal to ground.

I.
After energizing the solenoid, push the drive as­
sembly away from the
stop
retainer as far as pos­
sible and use a feeler
gauge
to check clearance

between
pinion and retainer. See Fig. H-50. If pinion clearance is not .010" to .140" [0,25 a 3,55

mm.],
there is either excessive wear or improper as­
sembly of solenoid linkage or shift lever mechanism.

Novi Governor Operation /

The
Novi governor is directly belted to the F4

engine
as no clutch is provided to disconnect the
drive.

To
operate the vehicle
WITHOUT
governor con­
trol,
push the governor hand control all the way
IN
against the instrument panel.

To
operate the vehicle
WITH
governor control,

pull
the governor hand control handle out. The
hand
control has nine notched positions. Pulling the

control
out to the first notch
sets
the controlled

engine
speed at approximately 1000 rpm. and each successive notch increases the speed 200 rpm.

until
2600
rpm. is reached in the ninth notch. The

hand
control may be released by turning the han­ dle one-quarter
turn
in either direction.

When
the
engine
is being operated under governor

control
(hand control out) the controlled
engine

speed may be
exceeded
at any time by depressing
the
foot
accelerator in the conventional manner to
secure a greater carburetor throttle opening than
that determined by the governor hand control
setting.

U-6.
Governor Maintenance

The
belt tension may be adjusted by raising or
lowering the governor in the slotted
holes
in the mounting bracket. Keep the pulleys and belt free
of
dirt
and oil. Belt slippage
will
affect governor
operation and a tight belt may cause
rapid
wear
of the governor shaft and bearings. Adjust it to
allow Yi' [12,7 mm.] depression midway
between
the pulleys with thumb pressure.
There
is little wear of the internal parts for they
operate in oil. The governor housings are equipped

with
both
fill
and
drain
plugs and also with level

indicating
plugs.
Check
the oil level at each vehicle
lubrication
and change the oil each time the en­

gine
oil is changed using the same grade oil used

in
the engine.

Caution:
Do not
fill
the governor housing above
the level plug. Overfilling
will
prevent governor
control
and possibly cause damage to governor in­

ternal
parts. The capacity of
these
governors is two fluid ounces [59,15 cm3]. The filler plug is
also a vent which should be cleaned thoroughly at
each oil change to be sure that the vent operates.
