Check the battery voltage first when revving the engine - What is the reading? It should be around 14.0 volts to charge the battery. If you are getting less than this check the output directly from the dynamo. If the dynamo is putting out a significant charge (but it's not reaching the battery) then the problem will probably be with the regulator box. They can be adjusted but it is fiddly to do and might be quicker and easier to change it for a new one or known good secondhand one.
