Matthew, if its a fairly high discharge the cutout relay (regardless if a 2 wire stand alone or part of a Voltage Regulator) may be sticking closed. If so the genny will get warm also n the battery run down fairly soon. I know this "dude" who would tap on them n see if it unsticks and if so maybe remove the cover n lightly file n clean n polish the relay contacts which is a band aid cure for a while At least.
See if it stops discharging if you remove the wire from the BAT terminal on the cutout relay or VR???? If so sounds like shes sticking closed as glen was also thinkin
In the alternative remove the gennys belt and if she spins like a motor Id again say the relay is sticking.
Butttttt if its NOT that then youre left with a short somewhere or shes not wired correct. If she still discharges with the wire removed from the BAT terminal then you gotta get a voltmeter and/or a test lamp n start tracing down the short.
Start by removing wires one at a time until you see where the bad short circuit is......
SURE ITS WIRED CORRECT?? The ammeters supply terminal wires to the batetry/starter while its other Load terminal wires to BAT on the VR or Cutout relay PLUS feeds hot battery voltage to the switch.
A short or a sticking relay is whered Id start lookin ifffffffff shes wired right??????
