Re: Only one generator wire producing voltage and current

My 200GT has the "B" 250 engine with the 200 barrel. It was registered as a 1966 but was supposedly made between 62-63 but maybe not. On the wiring diagram Ventodue posted, there is a Westinghouse 10a rectifier. We know there is also a Westinghouse 20a rectifier for the Elite and the 60 watt black box RR for the 250's. There is also a 40 watt black box RR for the 200GT. Has anyone every seen one of these. I wonder is this is what I need.
I tested my stator for continuity. There was continuity among the two wires, all the solder points and the metal ends (where the screws mount the coils to the plate) of the coil without the wires. There was no continuity to the ends of the other coil (with the wires).
By attaching the coil without the wires to the plate you automatically ground it unless you put a layer of insulation between the coil and the plate. That would raise the coil up at a different height than the other coil. It might also interfere with the flywheel.
For fun, if anyone has this same coil, could you do the same continuity tests I did? I'm interested to know if the end of both coils show continuity or if just the coil without the wires. I hope this make sense.
George, Can you test your stator for me? Thanks, Mark
