And you can also connect a voltmeter across the generator output and the battery terminal on the cutout to determine if you have a voltage drop in the points of the cutout when the engine is say running 1500 rpm. Set the voltmeter on at least the 10 volt scale. At 1500 rpm there should be negligible reading. At engine idle, the voltmeter should show battery voltage. This test will indicate the condition of the cutout points. Make sure the connections on the cutout are CLEAN AND TIGHT.
