The cutout bobbin has two coils wound into it: A fine high resistance voltage coil that senses the voltage rise from the dynamo as it begins to charge, pulling the points together, and a thick low resistance current coil that takes the charge to the electrical system and thence to the battery. It sound as if one of them is going straight to earth.
One can get cutouts repaired, but I don't know where. Perhaps another forum member will know. Otherwise, I should look out for a replacement, or get one of the diode replacement cutouts that are available..
