Testing of the AC Voltage Regulator is covered in the -24 Generator TM
---> TMs
Be aware the generator was made with 1 of 2 different AC Voltage Regulator systems. One by Libby and one by Technology Research Corporation (TRC). Be sure to use the correct test procedure in the -24 TM.
Before tearing into K8 (it rarely goes bad) I'd suggest measuring the AC voltages going into K8 as detailed in the thread I suggested. Very likely you'll find one or more of them way to high causing K8 to trip the overload.

I'd suggest doing the...
Have you tested the Exciter Stator resistance to be sure it's good? TM says it should be about 12 ohms.
Have you measured the DC voltage going to the Exciter Stator while the genset is flashing the gen head to verify the DCS is sending the flashing voltage?
If you do see a flashing voltage to...
There is no need to externally "flash" the gen head. THE DCS takes care of doing that automatically.

The connection between the A9 and the float switch is done with a 4 pin Molex connector.
To do the mod without cutting any wire could be done by building a little adapter like with a male and female Molex connector to tap into the FL2 circuit.
