You can do a few tests with a meter that reads Ohms. put a meter lead on the dynamo input terminal of the cutout, put the other lead to the cutout's earth. You should see a resistance reading somewhere around 60 Ohms for a 6V cutout. If so, the voltage winding is good. Leave the meter lead on the Dynamo input terminal and put the other on the cutout's output terminal; there should be no reading. if you manually close the cutout's contact, you should now see a very low resistance reading -no more than a few Ohms; this tests the current winding and points. If both these tests are good, you should have a working cutout.
