It's a 3rd brush generator so you can start by just turning the adjustment a bit to a higher charge rate (see service letters or PM me). If that doesn't do it, and the chances are it won't, problem is no doubt the Owen-Dyneto cut-out/regulator, though it's worth a look at the generator and brushes first. You can remove the generator without dropping the timing chain - just don't remove the large bronze flange - it holds the sprocket to the chain. Your Dyneto unit is not a current regulator, but a more primitive type of voltage control and cutout. Supply of these hasn't been a problem until just recently when NAPA discontinued them - they're hard to find and even harder to find someone to repair them - you might try ACE in KS who advertises this type of service in many hobby publications.

Owen-Dyneto data on generator and control is quite plentiful. PM me if you wish.
