Audible clicking is usually a sign that the VR is dying. They don't last forever.

I'm not sure what the green spark thing is. Some sparking is normal, and 
green is a color that copper sparks can make. If it is sparking a lot, then this 
may be caused by a out of round commutator, but if the generator was 
rebuilt not too long ago then this seems unlikely.

I would just replace the VR with a genuine Bosch.

How old is this VR and what brand is it?
