    Hook the field to 12 volts - if it starts to charge then
    the genny is OK. DO NOT REV THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS LIKE
    THIS! If that's the case, likely the cut-out relay in the
    regulator has gone or the contacts are
    corroded/arced/crapped up. Swap the regulator and it should
    start working again.

    They likely make a cheap transistor substitute for the
    regulator if you prefer not to deal with the relay
    type...there is little to one of these devices.
