Voltage Regulator... the saga continues.

Posted by Matt Williams on October 10, 2006 at 18:17:58 from (24.113.128.168):

So I got it hooked up just as everyone said. It just so happens that it is the same way it was hooked up back when it was working before I had the short that melted the wires on the battery terminal on the voltage regulator.
Since then I have replaced the wires, checked the inside of the VR, looks good. Polarized the VR and replaced the ignition switch.
When I turn the key in the ignition it doesn"t do anything. With the key on the VR has 6 volts to all three terminals.
It won"t turn over unless I ground the pole that goes to the solenoid on the starter. When I do that it turns over but I don"t get any spark to the plugs.
Is there some way to test the VR and the Generator without taking them in? It has to be one of those components, I guess?
I would think that the VR is bad as it had the wires on the BAT terminal fried, I don"t see any obvious signs of mechanical failure in it though.
Where would you get one of these most affordably?
Thanks again for your help!
I have a 53 IH 300 U.
