It motors with enough force to turn the engine over.
The car had been running fine since the same marked regulator was replaced last year.
Problem started with just the generator humming/slight vibration but steadily got worse. I'm not a wiring guru.

Is this possible? I had the points stick on a regulator one time and
all it did was smoke the generator.
