Took a while to get around to it but finally ran the Lister up to 650 rpm and tested the alternator.
Took my time to regulate the governor then checked the rpm at the pulley. All good. Plugged in an angle grinder for the first test. Bingo. Very happy. Then I tried boiling water with the kettle to put a decent load on it. Rpm dropped a bit so put another turn on the governor. Settled at 1510 rpm and boiled 4 cups no problem. Next time I will try a bigger load to see if I can get up to 3.5 kW. The kettle drew 2.4.
