Use a volt meter to check the voltage on the A terminal with engine at about 1/2 throttle. Should see about 14 volts. I would clean the terminals on the regulator before replacing it.
I have the same setup on my garden tractor, but it has the B&S engine. I was only getting about 13 volts at the battery terminals. Thought it was the regulator too. When removing the battery I noticed the postive battery cable had a bare spot from rubbing against the sheet metal. I covered the bare spot with electrical tape. That fixed the problem. The generator never had the brushes replaced, I pulled the generator and removed the end cover. The brushes were almost worn out.
