Are you talking about the automatic cutout? Photo courtesy of Jacques Fortin.

Yes. I’d check that to start. There isn’t much to go wrong in them

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.

Hi Mike. I did try to start it with a good 12v battery. It will barely turn. You’re the second to suggest that it might be a dirty rheostat. It has to be something simple.

All good suggestions, and thanks for that manual. It’s slightly different than the one I have.

Anyone have any idea what the resistance value of this filterette is supposed to be? All I’m getting when I try to use a battery to start the set is a spark at the start switch and the set just tries to turn.
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. https://youtube.com/shorts/b1L97ZSMhms?feature=share
