Thank-you Zubbly and others for all your help, here is an update on the progress of my conversion generator. Following your advice I separated the 24 wires and brought out all the leads of the coils.
I decided to get a 4in cube junction box from the local home improvement store.
To mount this on the motor shell I had to drill thru the motor so I could fit a bushing and thread the lock-nut on the inside of the motor and the compression nut inside the plastic box.
I also drilled & tapped 2 1/4-20 threads into the side of the motor for more support. To fit all the wires and for ease of interconnections I used terminal blocks and labelled the wires and the connections.
Once they were all fished thru into the box and all checked for continuity I laced the leads with heavy cotton string in place and varnished them.
I measured 1.9 ohm resistance of each coil & 5.1 open voltage of each coil by checking at 271 rpm in my drill press( lowest speed). The start and ends of each coil was not obvious to me, so to make sure I had all the starts and ends of each coil properly identified as to your diagram,
I wired 2 to 7, 8 to 13,14 to 19. Measuring 1-2 = 5.1v, 1-8 = 10.5v, 1-14 = 16.9v, 1-20 = 22.4v.The voltage increased roughly the same amount, the dmm numbers were jumping around a bit !!. I had to change & renumber leads 19 & 20 for phase "A". Similarly checking phase "B" I had to alter leads 15 & 16. On phase "C" I altered leads 5 & 6, 17 & 18.Each phase checked out to the same measurements as in phase "A".
When I try to connect 1 star : coil end numbers jumpers 2+8,6+12,7+13,10+16,11+17,14+20,15+21,18+24,22+4. Generator lead number output lead 1,9, 5, together 19,3,23 I can not measure anything & I believe they are cancelling each other. There is no cogging what so ever and can easily turn it with my fingers. I also tried to connect in 1 delta with the same results , so now is the time for me to seek more advice.
Thanks again
Mike
