Durwood,
There isn't a whole lot that can go wrong with a generator. I would
check the brushes to make sure that they are not worn down all the way. I
got a pair of brushes for my generator at a local auto electric shop for $2.
Flaps probably for $4.
Take a piece of emory cloth and clean the area of the armature where the
brushes make contact. I also cleaned the grooves out.
I replaced my regulator (we are talking 6 volt?) for $22 at Farm &
Fleet. It is a Wells and it did the trick. It came with full instructions
and was a simple inexpensive fix. I tinkered with the contacts on my old one
and it helped for a little bit but it needed to be replaced.
These services are explained very well on pages 12-8 through 12-18 in
the Shop Manual.
