amp meters bouncing on the old generators can be caused by weak brush springs, dirty communtators, out of round communtators, damaged wire to the regulator from the generator. Lots of time you can polish the communtator with a generator brush stone, or fine sanspaper,(be sure to blow out residue), and look to see if the brushes are arcing or bouncing while it runs with the band off that covers the brushes. The regulator needs to have a good secure ground to generator also.Check to see if you have a good connection at the amp gauge you installed. Also be sure you polarized the generator/regulator to the correct polarity orentation. then if all else fails you can check for a slinging short or loose communtator bar or the armature dragging on the field coils. Generators are not an exact science, but not too hard to deal with if you can find the correct test equipment anymore.
