Hello Janicholson, this is the results of your suggestions using the test light.
All points probed made the test light shine. There was no difference in the intensity of the testlight when switching from H to L at the switch. So I guess the ammeter is good, as it was working OK be fore this changeover.
No sparks though, when polarizing the genny. Touched the BAT terminal at the cutout to the field terminal of the genny. Is that correct?
I did grind to bare metal the mating surfaces of the genny and it's mounting bracket. I also probed the the generator body itself and the test light lit up. So it looks like to me that the generator is indeed grounded, RIGHT? Bad generator? The middle brush and the right brush are spaced at 7 cummutator bars apart. Does that sound normal?
The fact that the light intensity of the probe remains the same when switching from bright to dim maybe hints that there might be a problem with the 4 pos. switch. I'm just guessing there. So after doing these tests, those are the only 2 flaws that I see. Whats your thoughts?

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
