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,
Chris.
