Guys,
I have been reading your posts for awhile to help me get my 8n 6v side mount running, but now I am needing help.
My ammeter shows 30'plus at mid throttle in neutral. I began with a neg read with lights on engine off and no amps when running. I followed the diagnostic chart and jumped the bat and arm with it running and it jumped to 30 so I replaced the vr. The new vr is now showing neg amps with lights on and engine off but showing around 10 amps at idle and 30 when mid throttle. I removed the field from the gen and it immediately dropped to zero amps when running. I jumped the filed from gen to field on vr and right back to 30. Is my gen bad? Or is my new vr playing games? I did polarize after replacing the vr.
