Yes it is only producing a couple volts. I did find a fault with the cutout relay swith. The shut grounding wire was broken. I also found one insulator that was burned. I think this happened when someone soldiered in a toggle swith. So since I have been unable to locate a replacement switch I took this one apart and fixed it. The other issue still remains that there is very little voltage being produced. One of the guys in my town is a generator repair guy for CAT. He has been working through it with me as we check each component when he has the time. Our next step is to check the windings for any shorts. He has a special tester for this. I will update once we have done this check.
