Mark, now I'm really confused. I had a loose DF post on the gen, and the wire came off. I soldered it back on and my light is now off. But the gen is still discharging. I pulled the belt back off and polarized. but that did not work. Still discharging. When polarizing, how long do you let it run? Any other ideas. I guess I'll go to the regulator, next. But why is my light not on? Brent
