Yes, I used the exact same procedure you mentioned to polarize it, and have tried it repeatedly. It sparks, but appears to have no effect on the polarity of the generator. The regulator says right on the cover that it is positive ground. At the shop on the test machine, I watched when he flipped it from positive to negative ground and it did not charge in the positive ground situation, but did do so in the negative ground situation. We had it tested at a dealer, and he said that it is putting out some current in positive ground, but that it was not the typical output of a good generator. Flipping the ammeter leads is pretty much out of the question, as the poles will break off the ammeter before I will be able to remove the nuts, as the nuts are rusted on. Also, wouldn't it still just peg the gauge at positive 30 amps if I flip the battery around?
Is it possible that something was rebuilt differently?
Thanks
