Terry, Assuming you have the light switch field current control system as opposed to a full fledged Voltage Regulator based on your post, it sounds like the problem is EITHER,,,,,the wires open between the gennys Field post and the light switch,,,,,,,,,,,,or the light switch doesnt have a good ground,,,,,,,,,,,or the switch could simply be badddddd. Does the switch have the L H B D positions??????? If so does it not charge in EITHER the L or H ??? If it dont charge in either Im back to the wires bad from the gennys Field post up to the switch or it dont have a good ground, cuz it ought to charge in either the L or H unless theres no ground on it at all or the wires open. It may be the case the switches resistor is bad (low charge) but Id still think the H (high charge) would work and if NEITHER does, Ima still back to thinkin the wires open from the genny or theres no switch ground.

Yes its possible to jury rig a temp fix by dead grounding the gennys Field post butttttttt I would sure try n check the Field wire and the switch ground FIRST. With the Field dead grounded shes in the high max charge condition and after a longggggggggg time that way you could overcharge the battery and/or out gas n boil it over butttttttttttt that wouldnt happen in any matter of minutes, it would take a long time. If you wanna jury rig a temp fix so she will charge but at the lower safer rate, stick a 2 to 3 ohm power resistor in series in the wire from the Field post to ground butttttttttt I really dont think thats necessary for short term use.

ALSO for a short term pull Id simply give the battery a good charge right before the pull and not even worry about running the genny, just use the stored battery energy to power the coil versus having to waste precious horsepower to power that dern genny runnin down the track. Other HP robbers are fan blades and water pumps (some use an electric pump when pulling).

Best wishes n God Bless, let us know
