Re: more charging issues. plus a dicky starter

Sorry to be contrary but the car ammeter is sufficient to check currents. The scale can be vaguely checked from the head and tail lamp consumption; total watts divided by 6.
Other amp meters, including the ammeter function of multimeters, tend to be expensive, very easily wrecked by accidental excess current, and may introduce a confusing resistance.
The question here is not so much current but whether or not the dynamo is regularly initiating voltage generation, and whether or not the cutout is receiving/responding.
