Tony, I was typing too fast- your regulator cover (and email) did say 'touch
"BAT" terminal to "GEN" which is marked "ARM" momentarily- that is the
method I never got brave enough to try!
At the auto/electric shop, I was concentrating on the hook-up and testing
process for the generator. It kind of reminded me of Frankenstein- hooking
up these jumper wires, spinning dials and watching a meter, a belt driven
motor to drive the generator, oh, and let's not forget the sparks- looking
at all of that, I forgot to ask him!!

Kirk- I found the old email. I wanted to be sure I did not say to touch
field to armature. Just out of curosity, did you ask the generator shop what
2 wires to touch to polarize a generator?
Im glad you are up and going again. Charging problems are such a pain.
