Disconnect a battery cable RIGHT NOW, or the battery will discharge itself through the generator and burn both units out. Your "new" regulator is defective and needs to be replaced. A 1/2 volt drop between the regulator BAT terminal and the battery indicates there's a dirty connection somewhere- - - - -at an ammeter connection, or possibly at the battery cable connection at the starter. You should be getting approximately 7.5 volts, measured at the battery posts (not the cable terminals) with the engine running at a fast idle with a fully charged battery if the regulator is adjusted properly.
