testing voltage regulator 120-130

Tried to polarize system, no good. Pulled off generator again to check brushes, all fine. Rechecked wiring connections, all good. Was getting really cold and wet in the rain, with slowly rising temper becoming as red as the continually glowing amp light.

Man it ticks me off when I can't make something work, especially when all worked fine last time it was hooked up. Going to take generator and voltage regulator to electrical shop tomorrow for free diagnosis and find out if one of the components is bad, or if I'm screwing up with the wiring.

Reinstalled alternator, all is fine. Time to unwind, drink a beer, and cook a chicken lasagna, my reward for trying.
