Rebuilt Generator installed: Higher the RPM the more discharge

[Theo]

Hey guys,

I recently had a problem with the battery on my car not charging and dying. The ammeter wasnt working at all with the old generator. I thought my ammeter was broken, so I put a new one in. Same problem. I tested the system, and I found that my generator needed a rebuild.

So I bought a rebuilt generator off of ebay, with a new cutout installed. I bought a starter from this guy before so I know he does good work. Now, Im having the same problem as before, but my ammeter is working, and at idle it shows about 1 to 2 discharge, the higher the rpm, the higher it goes. During regular driving its usually at about 20 discharge.

The battery will hold a charge for about 5 starts, then die. When I charge it up again, same thing.

Could it be that the new generator needs to be adjusted to my car, or could it be a bigger problem?

The battery is hooked up corrected. Positve is grounded to the frame (bare metal) and the negative cable runs to the starter. Both are the proper type wires as well. I never had a problem until the first generator went bad.

Thanks guys!
