    You can definitely just run an external alternator. Is the regulator fried? I’m not sure where you are testing from.

    You should be measuring AC from yellow to yellow. Try first with the engine running and regulator connected. If you only get 3V then, try disconnecting the regulator and measure again. Measuring yellow to ground won't give much useful information. Simplest and most likely causes are wiring problems like bad connections or broken conductors inside the wire's insulation due to constant flexing.
