Thanks Gene! Good question Chuck! I presume then the genny's field terminal wires to it? There is already a "resitance coil" under the unit going to the field coil.
It's a domestic made unit, but I'm not sure whether Wells is a good brand or not. A VR617; the instructions were near worthless: roughly quoting "hook wires to same terminals as previous regulator" doesn't tell too much! Then again, I have been known to miss the obvious when reading instructions.
I'll give it a try, but John may have hit on a couple good points.
BTW, thanks John T for such a detailed answer; I'm guessing I have a couple issues (less than perfect internals, and perhaps tempermental contacts in the VR too) really agravating each other. Unless, the resistor puts it over the edge, I'll clean up the contacts in the VR, and then guess pull it apart and hope a little elbow grease is all it wants.
