Well, it's either the magnets of the stator again. Pretty simple system. The strength of the magnetic field (flux) is what generates the voltage. If you are not getting the proper voltage it is either the stator or the magnets, it's that simple.
I don't remember if there is a way to adjust the stator air gap between the blower and stator or not. If that is not set properly you'll not get the proper voltage. You already cleaned the magnets, as long as they are in good shape that should be good.
I hate to say it, but NOS only means...
You do not need to disconnect the leads from the stator to check the condition of it. But, you do need to read the voltage across the two leads...NOT each lead to ground like it appears you did above. You should get about 33 volts as is lists in the check procedure above.
Edit: I didn't...
Probably not. This is a permanent magnet type of stator. Pull the blower wheel off and clean any paint and crud off of the magnets and from around the stator and then try it again and see if that doesn't help your voltage increase.

A member on here...Storeman might have some used ones for sale. The last time I saw new ones on the internet was at Erics Military Surplus.
Also maybe used ones from Delks Army Navy in Asheboro SC.
If you want to put it in, that would be good. I made this thread a sticky so hopefully people might actually read it before the start asking about how to test their charging system
Testing the DC voltage regulator in 5 easy steps
Step 1
With the set OFF, measure DC Voltage at the regulator wire that is marked with the red band. Should be around 24 to 24.5 volts DC...Is it??
Step 2
If so, DO NOT disconnect anything and start the generator. Now measure for DC Voltage at...
