Chadd,
My own 2-cents:
From your descriptions, I believe that you have the "A" and "F" wires reversed on your generator. It's trying to charge the battery through its field winding & terminal, but the battery and (opposite direction) generator charging currents through the field winding keep repolarizing your generator back & forth. Correct the wiring, then polarize the Gen and see if it will charge normally. Be sure the VR base is grounded.

Note: Some 4-terminal voltage regulators have the "Gen" terminal molunted on the bottom with "F", "Bat" and "L" terminals in a row along the side.
"GEN" on VR should go to "A" on Generator.
"F" (or "Fld") on VR to "F" on Generator.

I think that the worst you could have is some contacts in the VR possibly heat damaged and not closing or stuck together. You might be able to clean them up and be back in normal operation.
