Gene, I agree! I do not think the genny is polarizing to a pos ground, I've kinda been suspecting this. I went out and tried polarizing again, exactly as you wrote it, and now it will stay at about a 3amp draw, coil draw, for several more seconds than before but it goes right back to pegging at discharge. I tried it several times and even held the batt neg on the ARM for a bit more than momentarily. after several attempts I'd even have to remove one of the amp meter wires to get it to stop discharging when it was shut down, it would go right back to normal after disconnecting and reconnecting. I think I'm gonna just turn this little bugger into a neg ground and try that. I was just putting it to pos ground cause that's the way it was born, no other reason. Thanks everyone for all the responses and add more if ya have um! I'm gonna take a break for a few days and go to work, I'll give it a whirl next week...
