It blows the safety fuse.
So basically it’s trying to motor the generator while everything is off.
Now if I attach the cutout without the 2 little screws on the generator body
It all works.

All I can think of is something off the harness from the coil and starter side is
Has power when it touches the batt connection on the cutout top.

Maybe one of the small screws that mounts the cutout, is TOO long and is shorting one of the field coil wires.
