Bob, Im thinkin same as Jim here. The VR acts bad and what seems bad is the VR's Cutout Relay coil/relay is NOT PULLING IN. If it dont close, the gennys output cant ever get coupled up to the battery (via relay closing between VR's ARM and BAT terminals) to charge it. Thats why even a dead grounded Field (max charge) is why it still dont charge cuz the genny isnt ever coupled to the battery via the necesary closed set of Cutout Relay contacts.

As Jim explained when the gennys output voltage exceeds that of the battery (from the residual magnetism in the field poles), the cutout rleay is supposed to close (those small high resistacne relay coil windings) and yours dont seem yo ever do that. The genny seems okay since it does allow charge to the battery when you manually close the connection.

Are you sure the VR is compatible with your ground (Pos or Neg)??? If not thats about the only other thing I might suspect. Many VR's are bi polar, some may not be, others still work but the relay contatcs may not last as long. Of course, the gennys needs polarized and if a VR were connected after a battery polarity got reversed but the genny wasnt re polarized to the new polarity, it can harm the VR. (maybe that happened before you got it????)

My votes same as Jims, bad VR so let us know what happens.
