Ok just to make sure I understand what's what. Can someone explain these parts and what they are called.

Yes i connected a 12v battery to the brushes on the slip rings and get ac voltage from the outside windings but motor soon slowly bogs down and dies if i keep the 12v applied.

12v dc applied to outside windings gives me gives me ac voltage output at slip rings with black and white.

Heres what i got left

Okay I disconnected wires from brushes and started motor then applied 12v dc to wires I unhooked and output wires from slip rings read ac voltage 80 - 140 volts jumps around but that's a good sign right? Now how do I wire the transformer, cutout relay, short protection, and outlet.?

The 2 thick white and black wires are labeled G1 and G2

It's the wiring that I need help with. Here are some more pics.

It's a 1950s or 1960 generator. What could be so complicated about the wiring? I got the gas engine part running just need help understanding the generator components work.

Here are some pics

I have a old WinCo 1 phase, 1500 watt, 115 volt portable generator that won't produce electricity. Looks like it's been worked on before and need help with the internal wiring.
