Hi David
Seeing as you haven’t had a huge response to this I’ll wade in with my limited knowledge and less than extensive experience. Namely I have just solved this problem on both the RK and on the Brookfields.
First job is to read the Cornwall A7 club site “charging refresher” and other articles on their site. They are very good. Next get an analogue multimeter as digital ones tend to be upset by the High tension interference from the running engine.
Next I would check all your wiring. If it was working before it should work now. The fault is unlikely to appear suddenly, more likely it’s something you have done. Then recheck all the earths.
Then follow all the tests on the Cornwall site.
In my case the RK dynamo was duff (armature windings shot) and on the Brookfields the dynamo brushes were not contacting the commutator properly.
Good luck
Howard
