I do not know the type or source of the cutout. it belongs to a friend who recently acquired it and I am trying help him out.
I suggested a small blockk chevy swap

but he wasn't going for that LOL

So in summary, at about 1500 or so RPM,

If I jumper the in and out on the cutout, (marked A+B), and while doing so leave the other (field ?) wire grounded to the generator,

The charging rate and voltage should increase if the generator is OK correct ??

And if it does increase then the cutout is likely at fault, Correct again ???

Thanks a bunch
