Hello all,
Got a head scratcher here. My battery is new, as is the voltage regulator, and generator's just been rebuilt by a pro I trust. I took pictures before taking things apart to make sure I put things back together correctly. After everything was back in, I polarized the generator in the prescribed manner. All seemed fine. A few days later, I came out work on a broken rear light, only to discover the new battery completely dead at 0.0 volts. I had an extra battery, so I put it in. The negative terminal sparked hard when I attached it, and with the engine not started and no key in, the Gen light is on bright. All other circuits seem fine, no smoke anywhere (thank goodness). Of course I disconnected the battery again. Advice? Answers? Ridicule? All will be accepted. Thanks.
