So after reading this a few times, I wanted to understand what you were suggesting.Because I know what to expect, I would jumper maybe 6 volts to the brushes and see if the thing produced power. I might even use a lower voltage. That would likely give a voltage way out of tolerance, so the generator should be isolated to keep damage limited. You may find the field voltage in the trouble shooting section of a field manual.
I found this video that's on a different generator, but was informative.
From 9:00 - 10:15:
Generator End Test
Tell me if that's similar to what you're suggesting.
If so, a few follow-up questions: The brushes are easy to locate,
Also when you mention isolating the generator, is that similar to what he was doing in that video at 4:52?
