To do this test you MUST do it at the generator end and disconnect the DF wire, 
leaving it connected to nothing. Is this what you did?

If so, then there is now something wrong with your generator. I would have to 
see the generator up close to know what the cause might have been.

Did you have the generator lined up properly so that the big air cooling hole 
was pointing straight down? Do you have my charging system FAQ?

Wish you were here, so I could give you a better answer.
