My 100 would not keep the battery charged. Did a lot of stuff to it over a year. I recently bought a new S/G to put on my 100. Also had put a VR on it. No problems charging now.
Took the old S/G to an generator shop. They tested it and found that it would charge for 5 minutes, then the windings in the armature would open up, and it would stop charging. They replaced the armature and it works perfectly now.
It would start fine, but not keep the battery charged.
Cheapest fix is to buy a new generator. Usually $120.00, includes shipping.
