Dave, As soon as you switch on, the battery is going to drain into the coil, and move the ammeter to the left. What happens when you start the engine and rev it up to a speed that should get the generator charging the battery? Is the needle left or right of center then? If still left or discharging, do a search from the top of this page on the procedure for polarizing the generator / regulator. You should find at least 20 descriptions of how to do it. If polarizing doesn't do it, suspect a bad regulator or loose / grounded wiring. If you still suspect the generator, a search here will pull up another 20 posts on how to measure the output of the generator. You'll probably also find a few posts on how to adjust the charging side of the voltage regulator. A 6V gen system operates just like a 12V gen system - so don't let it scare you - it's not rocket science. Lots of us have had the same problems; that's why you'll find so many posts and articles about it by searching the archieves here.
