If you disconnect the arm terminal on the generator is it live?

This shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Coopman is giving great instruction & pictorals & I totally respect his knowledge but Mart is making sense. If it was working as wired before until Gen started acting wacky & & you replaced with correct regulator & wire the same as before & it’s not the points in the reg. stuck, then you gotta have an issue in your wiring. Is the wiring old? Could be shorting between wires bringing / sending current thru reg.?
