I tested the regulator when it was hooked up negative ground (at least then it didn't peg the gauge at full drain). When I grounded the field terminal, it would charge about 25 amps or so. I had never changed the wires on the amperage gauge, so they were still setup for pos. ground (I knew that it would read backwards when it was running negative ground). So I disconnected the cables, put on the new regulator, switched the battery cables around and reattached them. Then I grounded the field terminal and used a jumper wire between the batt and arm terminals on the regulator to polarize it. Then I reconnected the field terminal to the regulator and tried to start it. When it started, the gauge went to full drain of 30+ amps again. I shut it off immediately and came in here. I tried running a jumper wire from the regulator and generator to the battery ground post, but it made no difference. Do you have any idea what is causing this? Thanks.
