If you have a new belt in your hand, ready to install it, you could hold-on
tight, loop the end and yank it onto the pulley. That should stop it.
Anybody ever try this? "Currently" no generators in my family, just
alternators. - Seth

By the way:
Do NOT allow a generator to continue motorizing like that. Yank a
battery terminal, or try smacking the regulator to jar the contacts
and maybe break the circuit enough to stop the generator. If it
motorizes for very long at all it's going to overheat quickly and
possibly damage the engine bay wiring.
