I had the brushes replaced on my 6V generator and the cutout replaced with a new 6V positive ground regulator that has F, GEN and BAT terminals. My switch is still the old 4 position type. When I hooked up the new generator I did not connect the wire that runs to the field resistor, just taped it and left it loose. The wiring harness is brand new and I connected the switch as shown in the wiring diagram. But... I only get about 3 amps of charge when running and when I turn on the lights I get a discharge of about 9 amps. What do I do now? Before I started this restoration nothing was working at all. Would an old battery act like this?
