Good evening.

Did you do the alternator test at 5000 rpm? You should see around 75 volts. If you did test at 5000 rpm it's likely that you have a problem with the stator, despite getting continuity on the wires & having no continuity to earth.

If it tests ok at 5000 rpm it's probably the RR unit.

Cheers.
