Gene F, Use your trusty volt meter to measure the voltage at the generator output post while the engine is running. If zero then the generator needs attention. If not zero then the cutout needs attention.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
