I've got a '64 Ford 2000 that's not charging. Everything is stock, i.e. 6volt positive ground
system. I've taken out generator and my local shop checked it out on their Snap On tester and
it puts out just fine. I did have them replace the bearings and bushings. So I figured I had a
bad regulator, off I went and bought a new regulator from the dealer. I put that in and
still it doesn't charge the battery. Yes, obviously I've had the battery checked out and it's good. I've run through the wiring with
my multimeter checking for continuity and everything looks good. Could I have gotten a bad
regulator? If so how do I check the regulator out. With a meter I can test the regulator and
there's voltage on the batt. terminal but nothing on the other two terminals. I've run it out
under load and still nothing on the other two terminals. Can I adjust the regulator inside?
I was told that I had to 'polarize' the generator anytime it was disconnected. Could this have
something to do with it? I'm frustrated without a clue on this at the moment. I'm sure its obvious but I'm not seeing
it. Thanks in advance...
