8 volts is excessive. SO the regulator either needs to be replaced, or adjusted. As Mentioned by Pete, the resistors get hot enough to smoke if recently started (dust) or cleaned. If the battery is fully charged, the volts should be no more than 7.2 to 7.3. To polarize the gen jump for one second between the bat terminal and the Armature (big post) on the generator, or where it attaches to the Regulator, never the Field. If it was jumped to the field, it may have welded the reglator contacts together. (new is best if this is the case) best of luck, and let us know what happens. JimN
