Did you get that Motorola off a Ford tractor? It sounds the same as some of the ones they used in the 80's. I generally never bothered trouble shooting them too much.... If there was a charging problem with either the alt or regulator, I felt it was cheaper to go to a Delco alternator....... The way I looked at it, if the reg was bad today, then the alt will probably be bad tomorrow, and the Delco was only a little more money than the reg, never mind the alt. However, if I remember correctly, the Reg wire is the sense wire to the regulator, while the Stator terminal is actually the excitor terminal (stator or field), so if you're going to make that thing charge, you need to apply current to the stator terminal. If you want to run without a regulator, then just drop full voltage to the stator, if not, then a wire from the regulator will need to go on there... I think.... I'll look up a wiring diagram this evening when I get more time. HTH.
