Karl, I agree with Bob in that running the genny in reverse shouldnt have hurt it, but there could have been harm done to the Voltage Regulator if things werent done correct or the genny didnt get re polarized correct.

You say you shorted the field to ground and still no charge, so AFTER YOURE SURE THE GENNY IS POLARIZED CORRECT try it again when running and the field grounded and if still no charge, leave the field grounded and by pass/jump the VR's cutout relay by momentarily connecting its BAT and Gen (or Arm) n see if she charges then?? If theres no charge with the field dead grounded and the VR's cutout relay by passed, the VR is essentially out of the circuit n she ought to charge IFFFFFF THE GENNY IS GOOD along with all the other wiring etc.

POLARIZE THE GENNY FIRST BEFORE TRYING THIS
