You state "can"t keep a charge"..."don"t use it hard"..."at 3/4 throttle shows charge" (but you didn"t say how much charge on the ammeter: 5+?,25+,40+?)... If connections, wiring, cables OK,could just be your gen not putting out enough (brushes worn, weak brush springs, dirty commutator, etc), assuming not working hard means you"re usually below 3/4 throttle, AND if at 3/4 you still have low charge. Vehicle batteries go bad quickly if not used regularly and often left low in charge; by all means have batt tested (bad cells usually show in OVERcharging, but sometimes can show in low charging). Then look to gen output; should show small charge just above idle, with better charge as RPM"s pick up, until starter draw replaced and VR or cutout reduces charging. If money available, Ken C"s advice excellent (have shop check gen/VR or cutout as unit). Good luck.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
