I was driving the '26 T yesterday and it suddenly started missing and had little power. I looked at my only gauge, the ammeter and noticed it was showing 0. I was running on "battery", since my magneto doesn't work. I suspect my generator and/or cutout. I'm electrically challenged. How do I troubleshoot, and what should I be looking for?

Randall,
First thing to do it to check the battery voltage. If it is less then about 6.3 volts, your battery is not fully charged and you will need to look for a cause.
