Hello Julian
I suggest that you try connecting the charging leads to a battery and then measure the volts with the engine at tickover and at full revs. You should get something like 12.6 volts at tickover rising to 14-15 volts at full revs depending on the state of your battery.
I have a Honda 5 with charging coil, it is a very rudimentary system there is no regulator. Heaven only knows what the voltage reading would be in an "open circuit" like you are suggesting.
Cheers
