Pete - Look for a slotted-head screw on the generator's back (commutator end) cover near the bearing. It will be the 3rd brush holder clamp screw.

However a low voltage condition could be from other things like a slipping generator belt or a faulty regulator. (A good working generator/regulator will develop 8 volts at governed RPM)
