My generator notes call for 2.5-3.0 amps to motor
Field draw 2 amps at 6 v
What did you do to the fields? I know you were asking about field coil tape--- did you have them all out, or just loosen the one to replace brush wire?
On some I had trouble with brush connections and had to solder the posts for good ground path
If you turn it by hand with power on and watch amp draw does it stay constant or vary depending on armature position?
If you had all the fields out is possible to have one in backwards and wrong magnetic polarity, it's been a long time and don't remember the exact order on a powerhouse, usually each pole is opposite, put power to fields and go around with compass, don't use expensive one, if the power is turned on with compass close it can change compass
If the charger you are using is a modern charger it may not turn on without existing voltage, this testing is best done with battery
