Ben - Best way to check whether the generator is working is with an accurate voltmeter.

First take a reading across the battery posts with the engine shut down � it should be about 12.4 volts or so. Now start the engine and run it at � throttle or faster. The voltmeter should now read between about 13.5 and 14.5 volts if the generator is charging.

An occasional small spark visible inside the commutator end of a generator that�s charging is pretty much normal. However continuous sparking says there�s a problem � usually worn out or broken brushes. Time then to go inside the generator and fix the problem before it destroys the commutator!
