Agree with Lynn on polarizing
Hi Scott
I agree with Lynn on polarizing the generator after it is installed on the truck. I've found that the that doing it before it is installed doesn't always work or hold the field. Lynn is also correct about the very brief contact necessary to accomplish the polarizing just a quick spark.
The caution about making sure that the regulator is functioning correctly when the engine is turned off, read the section in the manual and be sure that the cut out points in the regulator are actually opening.
Which manual are you working from?
Cheers Phil
