Is an isolating resistor of at least 10k used in between the generator and the inductor? I use 50K but my gear is older than the radios.
Try warming the coils with a heat gun, enough to make the wax fluid then let it cool. That should drive off any moisture, check again. If all fails time to shop for a replacement transformer.
