After re-reading my post, let me amend it a bit.  Start on page 30 at 
"Flywheel Alternators" and read through page 32.  Mine is a 20A, but you 
could even have a 15A. You could also have a 30A, I suppose.  Mine 
charges at 14.3-14.4V anytime the engine is much above idle, and has 
plenty of current for 91JF's meager needs.

Pages 31 and 32 are all you need to test regulator and generator. This 
is a "Synchro 20" I have this dumb-as-dirt single-phase system also, and 
it is surprisingly smooth voltage with zero EMI noise on the radio, or 
the rest of the system, best I can tell.

Given that these use permanent magnets, it is certainly conceivable that 
they could lose their magnetism over time, but I wouldn't expect it to 
happen quickly.  Regulator would be my first guess.
