rvirgil_KS said: (quoted from post at 01:30:11 11/14/09) The regulator connections would be
L (load) goes to hot side of light switch (and ignition switch if using distributor)
B (Battery)goes to ammeter
F (Field) goes to Field terminal on generator
There should be an Arm or Gen terminal under the regulator. It goes to armature on the generator. Is this one connected, you don't mention it so I wonder if that is the problem.
The F (field) terminal should vary in voltage. Be more concerned with the Armature voltage as that is the generator output.
With all properly connected, if you ground the field terminal it should show full charge.
Thank you. It is wire as you have indicated and yes the "A" terminal on the generator is connected to the "GEN" terminal on the under side of the regulator.
I did not know where / how to check the generator's output. I'll check the voltage at the "A" terminal of the generator with the engine running at 1/2 speed or better.
1. What should I expect to see on the ammeter with the engine running (lights off) if all is working properly?
2. Should I see a discharge indication with the engine running when I turn on the lights?

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
