A couple thoughts:

1 - Does the resistor heat up if the ignition switch turned "on" but the engine is NOT started?

If yes, then the problem's a wiring error. I.e. the coil side of the ignition switch is connected direct to the field resistor.

2 - But if the resistor heats up only if the engine is running (i.e. when the generator is spinning), then somehow the resistor is being fed voltage from the generator "A" terminal (the "A" terminal provides voltage only when the generator is spinning).

Again look for a wiring problem - like maybe the wires swapped at the generator A and F terminals.

Good luck and post back what you find. Meanwhile I'm gonna be away a while to enjoy a turkey dinner...

Happy Thanksgiving to you, John T and all the others posting here!! ...Bob M
