A few weeks ago, the tractor stopped charging due to the voltage regulator contacts not closing. I closed the gap and it worked for awhile, but I ended up having to replace the voltage regulator.
My C is 6v positive ground and has coil ignition. Now with the new voltage regulator, it discharges, buries the ampmeter to the left, and does return near 0 at full throttle, but still discharges. I am using clip leads for initial connections and the clips heat up quickly. The contacts spark brightly. I have replaced several regulators in my time, but have never experienced this. I have also used a second generator to troubleshoot the first one, and the results are the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What am I missing?
