Ok I polarized the voltage regulator after I took it out of the car and looked at it to see if anything appeared to be stuck or the contacts burned and everything looked good so Input it back in and started the car. Drove it around for about 20 minutes and when I got back the generator was hot enough where I could not leave my hand on it. Is that normal?? Or is it getting too hot? I did not smell anything burning and no smoke.
