Converted the TO-30 back to 6 volt. New battery, new wiring, rebuilt generator, new ammeter and new voltage regulator. Having problems after starting up. The ammeter will show about 8 amps charge for a about 2 or 3 minutes and then drop back to 0 or to 10 amps discharge. If I take a screwdriver handle and tap on the voltage regulator it will go back to 8 amp charge for a short time and then back to 0 or -10 amp. Will stay there until I tap it again. I assume the problem is in the VR. Is there anything I can do inside the cover of the VR? I have checked my ground wires and have polarized the system. Is there something else I should do before I replace the VR?
