You can´t "full-field" a 3 brush generator since one end of the field is the one bolted to ground by the cutout and the other end is at the movable third brush.
Start by checking if the cutout is working...have someone rev up the car while you jumper the in and out of the cutout...if it starts charging then cutout needs attention...otherwise generator is prime suspect.
