Seth: I didn't know that a generator could "motor" when connected to the fan belt, the fan belt would keep the generator from turning after shutdown. A stuck cut out would show a big discharge on your ammeter after shutting down the engine, and if not corrected, simply run down your battery? Confused in Sharon.
