The points in your Generator Panel probably need a good clean. They tend to "varnish" up being in a sealed unit. A bit of wet/dry may not good be enough as the coating may be quite hard, I happened to have a small diamond file which finally did the trick. It took an Industrial Elec. mate of mine 8 hours to workout how the electrical system was supposed to work and what the problem was, the first thing we had done was clean the points, but at the end of the day it turned out that we had only polished them, not cleaned them.
Got caught with a charging issue on Champ last year, the yellow and red dash bezells had been swapped, which was surprisingly confusing......
