If it pulls, it means everything is working. If it doesn't, there is a problem, but it doesn't tell you where. Could be alternator, regulator, field wiring or B+. Just a quick Good/No good check. I never heard of the test of if its magnetic its good.. you have to energize the field to create the field... I always use to try a full field test first at the regulator.. if it works then change the reg.... a vom can test a lot of things
