hoof up positive ground as that is the way it is supposed to be your reg will not work as the reverse current coil is set for positive ground polarize the gen by touching bat ttterm to arm term just to draw a spark that is enough if it wont charge then ground the field if it still wont charge the gen is bad you have probably ruined the reg by using neg ground but you might have beenlucky

Joe I will bet the generator was rebuilt as original positive ground. Reverse the cables on your battery and see if it will then charge. If you go to negative ground, which you can, then you have to reverse the wires on the ampmeter and repolarize the generator. That positive charge indication you were seeing was actually a negative charge.
