I would still suggest having your generator checked out as well to make sure it is functioning correctly independent of a cutout or voltage regulator. Correct setting of the third brush is important when using a cutout. I believe with the FP's regulator, the instructions suggest setting the third brush for maximum output, and let the regulator control voltage and current flow.
