Im thinkin the same as my friend Bob M. If the Cutout Relay was working correct it would be OPEN so it wouldnt draw any current when you connected the BAT terminal to a hot voltage source. However if its contacts are stuck/burned/welded shut it will draw high current, and in fact if you removed the belt the genny will spin provided its in working condition.
With the belt in place the genny cant turn and is in Locked Rotor Condition which draws high current and 50 amps dont surprise me all that much. HOWEVER if the belt were removed it could spin and then Id only expect maybe a 20 amp draw.
Place an ohmmeter or continuity tester across that relay and it should be OPEN but if its very low ohms its stuck closed. One might unstick the contacts but once the shiny silvery coating is burned off they can stick again.
