Generator problem?

I have not had my 48 ford charging for about a month now. I put a new voltage regulator in thinking its my problem. Now I have no idea what the problem is. I put new brushes in and polarised the gen I believe. I disconnected the field from the voltage regulator and touched the bat terminal. I took the cover off the voltage regulator and pushed in on the bat flapper. the field is pulsing on and off very fast.

Any ideas?

Thank you

ON edit. I did search..... many pages

 

I believe you should leave everything connected to the regulator, then with a jumper wire "Flash the field"..... in other words touch the jumper wire to the battery terminal and the field terminal with the motor running.

 

To the pos+ or neg- post on the battery? its pos+ ground

 

The gen motors if that makes a difference

 

If it is positive ground the Hot wire will be the negative side of the battery. The oppositive would be true if it is negative ground. I dont think you will see a positive or negative sign on the regulator. The terminals should be marked "FLD""GRD" "BAT". Hope that helps.

 

Go to this link and read this . I may have told you wrong since it depends on the type of generator you have. I normally mess with GM and Chrysler and guess I forgot about the differance on Ford since its has been a while. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=256038&highlight=flashing+the+field.

 

I am totally stumped. I took the generator apart. cleaned it, polarized it, motored it. I put a new voltage regulator in and still, nothing.

 

Any help would be great I was trying to make a trip to denver tomorrow
