Load
Hi James
Have you tried connecting a load i.e. a car battery or a older 12V Car headlight ?
The cutout contacts might be sticky or dirty.
You can use your multimeter to check the field coils for continuity.
The rheostat ( control knob ) winding might need cleaning as well.
A aerosol can of electrical cleaner sprayed into the cutout and rheostat is a good start. No need to pull things apart to begin with.
