[TR] Generator not generating

[Geo Hahn]

My guess is that you cannot spin it fast enough to get a meaningful test -
remember that the generator pulley is smaller than the crank pulley, so the
unit spins faster than the engine.

I have always just thrown on the motor and tested it by the book and in use.
