It's inside the generator cover detecting the lump on the edge of the flywheel. The pickup coil is pretty much integral with the generator because the wires exiting the cover are all bonded together in a rubber seal. Since the generator/pickup is a bit fragile when removed from the cover, getting hold of the whole assembly is probably the best solution.
A resistance test is unlikely to show a problem. You know it's working most of the time already, an intermittent short between two turns isn't easy to spot without specialist equipment. If there's an obliging foccer near you, swapping generators would be the easiest way to check.
