Another simple test of a generator: connect 6volts to it with polarity correct (+ve earth) and it should 'motor'. That will mean wiring is generally ok and brushes / commutator are in working condition. But output is not guaranteed to be good using this test.

Might also be worthwhile to ensure the generator field is polarised correctly, as per Electrical Section of the Service Manual (page 7). Very briefly connect a jumper lead between the 'A' and 'B' terminals of the regulator to achieve this.
