Mares Abyss Octo, brand new, not breathing well

It's possible that the perceived free flow problem is causing a more general lack of faith with the reg?
A correctly set up reg will never be too far away from free flowing in that transition from air to water - just as you dive in. This is not uncommon and shouldn't necessarily be determined to be a fault. Some manufacturers have gotten around this issue by allowing the user to switch the 2nd stage to a less sensitive setting (small knob on side 'pre-drive' & 'dive'). This means the reg can still be set up correctly but effectively put into an incorrect (for diving) mode while you are bobbing around on the surface getting ready to go down.
The fact that the abyss doesn't have this mode doesn't mean it isn't working right. If your shop adjust the sensitivity too far, they are going to make it harder to breath with. I have a couple of Abyss and sometimes experience small free flow. Nothing to worry about. You can look it up but the reg has been down to some record breaking depths without issue.
You haven't said which is your main reg - but the poseidon system runs a much higher pressure between 1st and second stage. You absolutely should not use this octo with poseidon, unless it has been ok'd by a authorized poseidon dealership.
In summary I can't see that your two problems are linked.

How can i check a generator on a 67 shovel to see if it's charging properly?

Use a multimeter to measure battery voltage before and after starting. If 6V the battery voltage should rise to around 6.9V after starting, and if 12V the battery voltage should rise to around 13.8V after starting. If less than about 6.5V / 13V, the generator's not charging well enough. If less than about 6V / 12V, or if the battery voltage never rises at all, or frankly falls, after starting, then the generator's not charging at all.

First stage in my posiedon jetstream has a pressure creep

I have the same problem! I'm still trying to figure it out. I read on line that it might be the "small spring" that is not normally replaced during maintenance; also read that it might be the HP valve seat.

I changed the oil in my 2001 jetta and i put in to much now car doesn't start

You're going to have to drain out the oil and put all fresh oil in. Depending on how much you over filled it, I'm surprised it would turn over at all. When you over fill a motor, you put it into hydrostatic lock. Trying to start it can either burn up your starter motor, or break a number of items inside the motor. The reason I suggest to put in new oil is because the oil you drain out will have particulates in it that it picked up from the motor internals; the oil filter should be fine. Once drained, fill with 3.7 quarts, run it for a couple of minutes, turn it off, let stand for 5 minutes, and then check your oil. Make sure you're on level ground when you do this; and don't take the first read when you pull it out. Pull out the dipstick, clean it, put it back in, pull out and then read it. Hold the stick in a horizontal position when you read it. If low, add a little, wait, check it again, you want it to read in the safe zone marking; the 3.7 without filter should be very close to safe.

If i lay a pipe 6 inches below the surface of the

I would say no. The water in the pipe that is above sea level will drop back in the pipe until it reaches sea level. Provided neither end of the pipe whether above or below the sea is blocked the level in the pipe will always find natural sea level so it wont be higher or lower than sea level. So in answer to your question No it wont pour out.
