Hey Banjo guy, you stated "The generator has two posts and neither are hot when running."
The Gennys output is from its ARM post to case/frame/ground, no voltage there you say ???? Make sure the Genny is well grounded !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The regulator has the right post(battery post) is hot and the other two are not."
Of course, the BAT terminal is connected to the battery perhaps via an ammeter, so sure its hot
The FLD post on the Genny wires to FLD on the VR where it goes to ground.
The ARM/GEN on the VR should be the gennys hot post when running, but if she's not charging she's not hot WELL DUH
1) Did you Polarize the genny before starting?? try that. The shop- may have it at NEG ground !!! 2) Make sure the VR's metal case is well grounded to the tractor. 3) See if it charges when running if you jump the Gennys FLD to ground??? If so but NOT otherwise the VR is bad or not well grounded 4) Sure you have the correct VR ?? Such as for a Class A or Class B system??
If all fails work through my Charging Troubleshooting Procedure linked below
