GB - Make sure you've got it wired up exactly as John T describes above. Also make sure the regulator base is SOLIDLY grounded (system won't work right if it is not...)

Then if the generator output is still low, temorarily ground the generator F terminal to a good ground - the grounded battery post is best. (This bypasses the voltage regulator and drives the generator to maximum output.)

Now run the engine at full throttle. If the generator is good the ammeter will show 12 - 15 amps or more. If output is less, either the 3rd brush needs adjustment or it's time for a generator rebuild.

Good luck!
