I have plenty of "what ifs" as to what could be wrong.  Before I began 
restoring, the generator was dead, there was no fuse, and the wiring 
was, to put it mildly, in the last stages of complete disintegration.  
The gentleman I bought it from claimed that the light switch was bad.  I 
am trying to test the light switch, and I have bought a new fuse.  I 
just hope my light switch works. 

Thanks,
