Attached link is of me trying to start it before restoration. It wouldn’t start because the magneto was bad amongst other things. As you can see, it’s turning very well here.

The filter resistance should be very low, as the set can charge at 20 amps.
If the output voltage is really low _and_ it won't run as a motor when the start button is pressed with a charged battery connected I'm thinking the stator may have been demagnetised somehow (connecting it up backwards may cause this if you try to start it).
I don't have any manuals for this (even though I have an unissued one in its crate - someone stole the toolbox before I bought it
) so I can't help much on this one.
If there's a section on "Remagnetising the generator" it's probably worth a look.
Best regards,
