Matthew - A couple of thoughts:

1 – If you’ve truly got a voltage regulator and not a cutout installed (a regulator has 4 terminals labeled GEN, BAT, FLD and L), the light switch will have no effect on charging rate. (The L and H light switch positions are both now simply “off” positions for the lights)

2 – 5 amps of charge only at mid-idle is puzzling. It should be closer to 10 – 15 amps from mid-idle to full RPM. A couple of possibilities for this:

It’s wired up wrong. Here’s a link for a diagram how a regulator should be wired up:

If you find it’s wired up OK, then try working your way through the troubleshooting chart here:

It will not correct the problem, but it will help you identify which component is causing the problem.

Good luck!!
