Hello Tim,
An easy way to check the cutout is to take a small 9volt battery ie ,pp3/6f22/6lr61 etc.
If the cutout is off the car connect the 9v battery across the E tag and the D tag of the cutout.
With the cover off the cutout unit you will see the contacts close is the pull in coil is ok.
If the contacts donot close then the pull in winding is open circuit,this can happen after eighty odd years.
If ok so far then have a good look at the contacts to see they are not badly burnt.
If the cutout is still on the car, to carry out the test remove the lead connected to the D tag and proceed as above.
Hope this is of help Tim.
