My alternator (generator) has always been a bit reluctant to come on line
and would only do so at quite high revs. The little red light has now decided
to stay on all the time and no amount of reving and switch throwing will
induce it to go out.
Before I start to strip out all the gubbins between me and the generator to
get at the thing, can anyone help by suggesting where I should look first for
a possible minor faulty connection or whatever.? Initial searches have been
non productive.

From your signature, your engine seems to be a 914.
In order to be of assistance, a schematic of your circuit would be a
great help.
In my opinion, a fault in the alternator itself is very unlikely.
The problem may lie in the wiring and/or regulator.
Have you installed the required capacitor ?
Is your battery in good shape ? We have discovered that the Rotax
regulator won't sart to life unless submitted to a significant voltage.
Is your rectifier/regulator correctly wired, and is it connected to a
suitable ground with a wire of sufficient gauge ?
