Good, nice catch.  ;-) That may have been the whole problem.

Right, but not at idle. It won't charge at idle. Take it for a drive.

Okay, the idle is TOO LOW. It sounds like it may just be running on 
two cylinders, but that may be fine once you get it on the road. Try 
spraying WD 40 thru the idle passage. You can see that drilling if 
you pull off the air cleaner. It's on the left side of the IAD intake 
opening, just below the idle adjustment screw.
