Faulty charging? - 748RS

Just replaced the engine in 748RS, upon starting everything is fine but once warmed the dash gives 'lo battery' signal. Checked battery (which was flat on start up) and the voltage is low. Idling goes up and down with volts. I suspect faulty rectifier or generator but don't know the figures for checking them. Seems strange the rectifier would go just as motor is changed which made me think of the generator but the engine was supplied as 'checked' only 212K from monster mob. I have a couple of other generators but all give different (ohm) readings across the output pins!?!
Checked connections and all seem fine but will go over them again to be sure.
Any ideas on testing the rectifier etc I dont think it is the same as the standard one.
