Default Re: Generator question

Sometimes just writing things down goes a long way to solving the problem. Placed on the “Super Spider Man Thinking Cap” and decided to see if the generator is, well... generating. It is. Open circuit about 21v. That lead me to think the problem must be in the mystery device called a “cut out”. I opened that, and near as I can tell, it is a double coil that opens a winding at certain current/voltage level. I did immediately see a small wire that was badly corroded and disconnected from common (ground). I suspect the cutout is the culprit.
