The regulator needs to have a shiny ground to assure it is going to operate the generator correctly. The possible wires going to the electrical box are two. one from the Battery terminal on the reg 10gauge, and one from the L terminal (if it has one on the regulator) that is also 10 gauge and hooked to the light switch fuse holder screw (it supplies all Load power to the lights and the ignition. No other wires should be connected to the light switch, with a regulator.

Needle dampening is a drop of viscous fluid on the pivot, old generator systems are very noisy and have transient voltage and vibrating contacts that are not at all smooth like a solid state alternator. It is normal to charge 3 or so amps if the battery is charged! Jim
