Redneck Rebuild

 

Today after running the generator for 17 minutes with a video camera on a Volt Ohm Meter the generator shut down after the voltage from the generator went wild. So it was confirmed that it was a regulator problem. On removal of the regulator for the AC side of the unit I found MORE.

The plug had the bottom pin cut off and an extra wire grafted in to the system when it looks like the contact went bad.  See the red Crimp connector with the bare wire exposed on the bottom?
Here is the other end of the wire soldered to the contact that melted on the old plug when it was plugged in. 
 Do you think there could be a problem here?
It also doesn't look like a good solder job either.
