Here's several things to try. I'm gonna presume you've already checked and got the wiring connections correct...

1 - Does the ammeter show a discharge when you turn on the ignition or lights with the engine off? If so it's working OK. If the ammeter needle does not show discharge, but the ignition/lights work, the ammeter needle is stuck. The generator can be working but the ammeter won't show it. Only if you have no NO ignition/lights will that mean there's a continuity problem with the ammeter (incidentally this is not very likely)

Do the following with the engine running at half throttle or faster:

2 - Connect a jumper wire between the cutout base and the grounded battery post. If the generator now charges you've got a bad ground at the cutout mounting.

3 - If the above doesn't work, connect the jumper wire between the BAT and GEN terminals on the regulator. If the generator now charges, the cutout is defective.

4 - Connect the jumper between the "F" terminal on the generator and a good ground. If the generator now charges, the problem's in the resistor light switch.

Hope this helps...
