Im not sure Im smart enough to fix this one over the net. Bob M and I have cussed n discussed another NEW VR he bought that isnt working quite right either.
Scotty is right on the 4 terminals on the VR but its my guess where you typed A on VR to ammeter did you really mean BAT ??????????
If she was charging before and charges if you ground the gennys FLD post THAT TELLS ME THE GENNY ITSELF IS OKAY so it must be a VR or other wiring problem
Are the 3 terminals on top side by side on the VR labeled BAT (L)OAD and FLD ??????????
If so I still think the unmarked terminal on bottom is ARM/GEN and YES it wires to the gennys ARM post
MAKE SURE THE VR"S METAL FRAME HAS A GOOD GROUND maybe run a grounding jumper wire to it as she cant work right UNLESS THE VR IS WELL GROUNDED
YES that wirewound stick resistor on VR is the series Field resistor, it sort of takes the place of the resistor on a LHBD light switch.
With the VR theres NO LONGER any wire from FLD on Genny up to the light switch remember, you dont have such a wire correct???
I guess you surely Polarized the genny prior to start up right?? if a genny is at the wrong polarity it can damage a VR !!!!!!
On the ammeter the SUPPLY SIDE has but one wire to the battery often via a cable to where the big battery cable attaches to the starter switch. Its other LOAD SIDE wires to BAT on the VR... Yours that way???
You may not wanna hear this but if shes wired right???????? AND POLARIZED and charges ONLY with gennys FLD grounded THE VR SOUNDS BAD !!!!!!!! or the wires bad from FLD to VR FLD or the VR isnt well grounded
I hope Bob or Bob M or Jim can fix it, Im runnin outa smarts and I dont have all that many to begin with.......

Today's Featured Article - A Tinker’s Guide to Manifold Repairs - by Curtis Von Fange. A common characteristic of keeping older equipment is that some parts to make repairs can be extremely difficult to locate. For example, finding a replacement for a cracked intake or exhaust manifold on a unique tractor or odd brand can be a frustrating and downright impossible mission. So, what is an alternative solution to scraping out that ‘one of a kind’ piece of history? First, decide if you are one to try a repair yourself or have someone else do it.
