Hi everyone. New to the forum here. I have a Fergie TO-30 (1953 model, 6 volt). I thought I had a regulator problem, so got a replacement reg. but problem persists. With the old regulator, the battery was not charging and no action on the amp meter.
I installed the new regulator, polarized it as the instructions said, however the amp meter now pegs all the way over to negative 30. I traced all the wiring making sure I didn't screwup when changing the reg. I thought maybe the generator changed polarity, so I followed the steps polarizing that according to the dealer's repair manual. I still have the same results. I did unhook the positive battery cable and the engine keeps run....so current must be flowing from the generator. I'm at a lost now.
Anyone else have a problem like this? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks.
