Default Re: Generator question

The generator motors, so I'm assuming it's good, but it doesn't put out. It has the diode type cutout which tests good. W/the engine running, putting a jumper across the cutout causes the ammeter to show a discharge.
I'm assuming that there's still something wrong w/the generator, but what?
The new field coils have one red and one brown lead, I've read that the red lead should go to the third brush and the brown lead to ground, that's what I have now. I tried reversing the leads and no joy.
It reminds me of Marshall's saga w/a generator.
