FIGURE 1:




Comments indicate that some CS-144 Delcotron generators in the field are being reassembled incorrectly. The internal components must be reassembled and tightened in the order shown in Figure 1.
1. Install rectifier bridge and capacitor. The capacitor strap has an insulator material which rests on the end frame "ground." Bolt rectifier bridge into place.

2. Install regulator and brush holder. The capacitor strap "metal side" touches the regulator connection. Tighten insulated screws.

3. Crimp and solder regulator terminals. Avoid excessive heat.

4. Install stator and tighten nuts.

Assembly in any other manner than shown will result in:

- No output when operated, or
- Direct internal ground for output terminal.
