I'm pretty low tech, I think that I would remove the gen from the car and see if it will motor... Hook the field and armature together and hook up a battery, ground the case... it will spin at a modest speed. If it does, it should generate... Then I look at the cutout... I would think of a diode type replacement... Karl
