Paul .....AGAIN, I will suggest taking the cover off of the regulator. Check to see if any of the contacts (points) are closed with the ignition TURNED OFF?
Have you taken the generator to a shop to have IT'S health evaluated?
Other than this, the only other POSSIBILITY that comes to mind is the grounding of the generator itself, as well as the grounding of the regulator.
Take your ohm meter probes and verify that you have continuity between generator case and intake manifold. Also verify that you have continuity between regulator base and engine block. As a matter of fact, you should have continuity between regulator BASE, and GENERATOR case. DD
