UPDATE. Tried 2 solid state (NuRex) and 3 original type mechanical cut-outs. All with same result. No charge unless I placed jumper across cut out. Generator was recent rebuild by reputable rebuilder in NE Ohio. Removed and inspected generator. Found one brush was not contacting commutator at all and the commutator surface was contaminated with a black tar-like mess. Rebuilder gave me another generator. Installed and all is well.
