Generator or regulator?

My generator does not generate voltage. =46irst it worked very roughly, carge on-off-on... etc. I sanded out peaks from regulator contacts, and it worked a week. When it died again, I replaced the regulator wit a brand new one (Lucas). Now I have no charge with either of these regulators. Generator works as an electric motor when connected straight to the battery. It does jump around the garage as a starter motor does, but it accelerates to 500 - 1000 rpm (appr.) in few seconds.

Has anyone any good adwise for rapid trouble-shooting? (This is a trouble that makes me not shoot just any object.)
