Thanks Marc,

So I suppose it could fail either way. It might not close and allow the battery to be charged/maintained, or it might not open and drain the battery through the generator when stopped. Either way a dead battery would be the result, and maybe generator damage too...is that right?

My ammeter shows a positive charge most of the time, with no more than a 10 amp max.
