OK, So about five years ago, I had my generator rebuilt, then about three years ago, I had the regulator replaced. Ever since then, it's run and charged just fine. Now over the last month or so, it just won't charge. I thought it might be the ammeter, since it shows it not charging, but when I tried starting it just now, it deflected to the left, so THAT must be working. I suppose the battery's kaput, since I've had to trickle charge it just to get it started for the last couple of months. It won't even hold a charge after trickle charging it for an hour or two, starting it, and then stopping it five minutes later and trying to start it back up immediately. But is the battery the actual problem, or is it an indicator of another electrical problem? If the battery is bad, won't the ammmeter still deflect to the right when it's running?
Should I just replace the battery, or is there some test I can do to see how the rest of the electrical system is working? I have a multimeter, but I'm no electrical engineer.
By the way, it's a 2135 Industrial (Gas)
