Robert, you can do that motoring test with the unit in place as long as you take the belt off. (take the load off)
How the light works: When you turn the key on, the light comes on. (battery voltage) When you start up, voltage coming from the generator pushes in the opposite direction. This stops any power flow and the light goes out. (or nearly goes out)
The round tin on the top of the generator is the cut out. (I think) This opens circuit when the geny output drops to battery voltage and stops the geny from trying to motor when the key is off. The voltage output is adjusted by moving the 3rd (adjustable) brush.
If you drop the belt and "motor" the geny, and it runs, then it is in reasonable condition, so you shouldn't have to pull it out.
Make sure you have good earths on the components.
Thats about all I can come up with without doing some study.
Read up on it.

Thank you very very much Lynn , most helpful information . This will save me a lot of trouble. Nice receiving advice from New Zealand . I had a good time working with the crew of one of your frigates ( Te Kaha ) two years ago in Victoria BC . Decent men and women , dedicated warriors and protectors of your country .

Robert,

The generator was set up years ago to just produce a trickle charge. There is not a large demand from the generator other than topping up the battery. Probably after all these years, it's time to adjust the movable brush, maybe clean up the commutator as well.
