john , i got the h re-wired for 12v neg ground, put the new regulator in it, and the new rebuilt genny. wired according to the schematic that has been posted on this site. genny wont charge. when i polarized the genny, got a real good spark at the bat and gen terminals. sooo, following your guidelines, i grounded the field on genny, no charge. (ammeter does swing discharge with light on engine off) also voltmeter showed only 12.2-12.5 volts.doesnt change with the field grounded. i left the field grounded on the genny and jumped the bat terminal to gen terminal, got a big discharge swing on the ammeter and a good spark at the wires. i then did the motor test on the genny. with the field grounded, applied bat voltage to the arm post, genny motored slow, when i pulled the ground off it speed up momentarily but then coasts to a stop. i am kinda thinking the rebuilt genny has a problem. your thoughts?????
