Hi dieselpaul, yes Bob is right by grounding the field terminal will make the generator charge full rate which is infinite. Hook a test light up to your battery hot terminal (not the ground) then to the "A" terminal on the generator while it is running if it lights there is no generator output then ground you "F" terminal while it's running and see if the test light goes out if it goes out the generator is good. If the light goes out you have an open circuit between your "A" terminal and the amp meter or battery.-(circuit) (it"ll be most likely the regulator).
