Did you, or the person that rebuilt it, polarize it?

yes

If you have a voltmeter, with motor running, measure the generator output to ground, if the voltage is positive, try reversing the 2 field coil wires. Then polarize the generator. That should solve you problem.

Does it motor if you jump power to it ?
