What charging voltage do you have when the problem shows up?

Can you just disconnect the generator electrically and see if this make difference (i.e. running on the battery only)?
I'll check the charging voltage and let you know.
I will start with disconnecting the generator and see if that makes a difference before disconnecting the belts to stop the pulleys from turning.
I can't imagine any reason there would be a connection but I'm desperate to try anything right now (short of replacing my stock sparkplug wiring and distributor caps with something else.)
