Was able to obtain this meter.
Looks pretty easy to use, however before I guess on hooking it up I'll be humble enough to ask first.
How do I use and/or test.

Brian,
How did we miss the fact that the meter says "Amperes"??? I totally missed that the other day!

I have one like it, and also a KR Wilson mag tester which looks like the amp meter. I’ve never known how to use them.

I'll assume it is a regular amperemeter, so setach the wire on the generator and connect to the one terminal om the meter, and do a wire and connect the other terminal to the generator. Start the engine. If the needle goes "negative" swap the wires on the meter.

Connect to output post on the generator cutout not the battery side. The battery side would be same as connecting to battery, that post on the cutout would be same as battery voltage.

Good info. How would the mag tester I have work? One to the mag post and one to a ground on the car? I’m a little afraid to touch anything to the mag post in fear of dis charging the mag

I wonder what the internal load resistance is? I'm sure it's a wound coil of some sort.
