The gen is good, she's kicking out 11.x volts...the starter is in perfect condition too, but every new battery (6 and 8v) only holds it charge a short time, and no longer will spin the motor after a few times. gotta open up the regulator to get the ammeter to show charge, and running the lights immediately causes a discharge.
