John,

now I'm really confused.

I got the rebuilt generator with the new voltage regulator back
onto my 41 H today. The problem persists - its still showing 15
amp discharge when the lights are on. So I took out my
voltmeter and started checking things. The BAT terminal on the
VR is hot (and obviously the wire from the ammeter to it), but
the polarity is reversed! With the negative lead on the BAT
terminal and the positive to ground I get just a shade under 6
volts.

So I opened up the switch box on the steering column. As far as
I can tell, the cables from the VR to the ammeter and from the
starter switch to the ammeter are wired correctly (according to
my Binder manual). The battery cables also are correctly wired to
the battery (If they were reversed the engine probably would
crank in reverse but not fire).

So, what is backward? The only thing I can think of is to switch
the wires on the ammeter. It won't look like the manual, but the
current through the ammeter would flow in the opposite
direction which would show a charge instead of a discharge
