Took cover off regulator: throwing an arc between the relay [above the field connection] contacts. Cleaned up both relays with isopropyl on computer paper - no change.
Almost like it needs a capacitor, but then I never did find a good place to put that extra resistor either.
Still perplexed here! :?
I might be wrong here, but I doubt that the resistor belongs between Field & ground. One ohm in this position would cause the generator to output about a quarter to one-half its rated output (depending of specific field coils) at all times, thus rendering the regulator function pretty much useless. Still offer a little control in the upper end of range, but most likely still overcharge the battery.
Where does the resistor go, I do not know. Here is a bit of speculation:
My 6v gen experience tells me that thee are two large groupings of 6v field coils, one around 1.5 ohms & the other around 3 ohms. If the resistor were placed in series (one end to reg fld terminal & other to gen fld terminal, then the result would be smaller fld current both when VR contacts closed & when open, thus a smaller swing between max & min charge. If the reg is designed for a 3 ohm gen, then perhaps the resistor is necessary for a 1.5 ohm gen? Like I said, speculation, but it cost very little to try. Hopefully, someone can top speculation with hard fact.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
