In Reply to: battery polarity posted by SKane on February 13, 2006 at 04:06:28:
I am anxious to hear replies to your posting. I am wrapping up restoration of a Model V Avery which, according to the owners manual is supposed to be negative ground. I had to build all the wiring from scratch with no directions (no owners manual at the time) and set it up for positive ground. Everything worked fine except I was not able to get the generator to charge. I polarized it according to instructions from a retired mechanic and was able to see the generator put out current but I could not get anything to flow all the way through the voltage regulator. When I got the manual and read the wiring diagram I saw I should have set it up as positive ground so I switched the battery cables, switched the wires on the amp meter, the generator, and the coil. I polarized the generator again. I am still getting current through the generator but it does not go all the way through the regulator. I suspect I have a bad regulator and plan to buy a new one this week. I would like to know if the same regulator is used on both positive and negative ground systems.
