Grounding

[shawn_and_his_kaiser]

Not sure if I'm wording this correctly... How do I ground out the voltage regulator? Apparently it's common and something I forgot to do. I've replaced all electrical components and new battery.... Not starting.

Charge Your Battery, remember it’s Positive + Ground. Not Negative - Ground Like Today. Yes regulars can short. If You if it starts look at The Gage it should go Positively + charging that’s Normal.  If It’s going Negative - It is Pulling all the Voltage Out of the Battery. You have to short center & Outer just to spark, the see if You’re Positive Charging.

This is why they switch to an Alternative System.
It happens often if Warm Weather...

I'm sure you're refering to polarizing  your regulator/generator.  To do so simply take a jumper wire and connect it between the battery (B or BAT terminal) and the generator (G or GEN) terminals on the voltage regulator. Just touch it for a split-second it a spark appears and  then off it.

Thanks Fid,

I knew Bat. but forgot what the other label was Gen. ?

 Remember, They Tell You to not use clip leads in Engineering except for testing? I have been at Radio-Tv Stations Keep for , I will fix that Later.

This is a Best thing to have to reset System. Wire will do same but easyer to find Clip Lead.
