Chad, Ima thinkin along the same lines as Bob n Jim,,,,, ,,, I really wonder if the genny was incorrectly polarized n you messed up the Voltage Regulator????? ? If theres a heavy discharge that can be caused by a VR that has a stuck/burned/welded cutout relay. If she was drawing a high discharge current but it stops if you remove the wire on the VR's BAT terminal, sounds like the VR's cutout relay is stuck/burned closed. If the belt is removed and the genny spins like a motor thats another sign the cutout relay is stuck closed DONT LEAVE THE VR CONNECTED IN A HIGH DISCHARGE CONDITION (remove the BAT wire) it runs the battery down n the genny gets hottttt t You need to stop n regroup n insure first shes wired correct,,,,, then charge the battery,,,,, then do as Bob noted n polarize the genny n insure the cutout relays NOT stuck closed. If its stuck, when you attach the BAT wire to the VR she will discharge heavy buttttt tt that has to be connected before polarizing if you polarize by flashing the VR' BAT and ARM/GEN terminals together,,,,, ,you may be better off polarizing by (before connecting to VR) you flash touch the wire that goes to BAT on the VR first direct to the gennys ARM post to polarize n then attach to the VR's BAT terminal n hope she dont heavy discharge (stuck cutout relay). It may be possible to seperate n clean n light file a stuck cutout relay points n make her work again buttttt tt once the shiny silver is gone n they are rough n carboned they can go bad again soon John T (NOT a W6 Man but been around the block on electrical stuff)
