          I finally gave up and brought the generator to a automotive 
electric shop and had it tested. It was OK. I also had the first new volt 
regulater with me and that tested bad. He had the correct voltage regulater 
in stock so I had him test that one with the generator and it tested good. 
Then he polorized the generator by jumpering from the positive battery 
terminal to the armature terminal. he also polorized the volt regulater by 
jumpering the B and D terminals on the volt reg. This is different from 
everything I've read or been told. But Hell I didn't care if he lit incense, 
put on a grass skirt and danced around the generator singing. When I got home 
and put the gen and new volt reg in the ignition light went out and the 
system started charging! 
            Thanks to all who took the time to help me with this problem. I 
believe the main problem was that I was plauged by bad replacement parts.
            I don't know about the way he polorized the generator versus the 
conventinal way, it just works the way he did it.
