Paul, if you dead ground the gennys Field post and she charges okay (tels me the genny itself is okay) but NOT when using the VR my first suspect is the VR isnt getting a good ground followed by the VR isnt a proper match for the genny or the VR is just bad.
Run a direct dedicated ground from the grounded battery post to the frame of the VR n see what happens ??????? If still not a good charge then the VR may be misadjusted or not properly matched to the genny or just bad.
HOWEVER if alls well if the battery is charged enough the VR IS SUPPOSED TO BACK OFF TO A LOW CHARGE RATE LIKE A FEW AMPS but after a start up the charge rate is normally high (maybe 10 to 15 amps) for a while at least before backing off to a few amps
The jumpy needed can be bad connections or a bad ground or the genny hasa brush or commutator problem.
Check grounds check wiring and if alls well Id just let it go for a while n see if the VR settles in???
