THe generator has 2 posts to
connect wires and the regulator has 3. Alternators are easy to trace
the problem, but not generators.

Generally, the two terminals on the genrator connenct to two of the
terminals on the regulator, the third termial through the ammeter to the
battery.

There are two types of generator systems, one which the field is conencted
to the armature in the genrator, and grounted to exite it, the other with
the field grounded in the generator, and pulled to the armature line in the
regulator.
