Success!
Turned the drill up to a higher setting, spun it for a bit longer, and there was suddenly significantly more resistance and a good strong current being produced as verified by both the multimeter and the bulb.
I'm pleased as I had splashed out on a reconditioned dynamo and was worried it had already gone wrong. The engine has had a nasty clatter that wasn't there before, so I'm hoping the dynamo having more resistance might sort that too.
Thanks all for the pointers
