Although a bad ammeter will cause issues, just because it doesn't return the needle to center when it is off doesn't mean that it's bad. (Yes, it should read 0 or be in the center, when the key is off.) If the meter was bad, then nothing would work as battery voltage is fed to the key through it. If you are having electrical problems, the best way to find them is with a DVOM. The wiring diagram for your machine will be in the Chassis Service manual. You need to either test and find the problem, or be more specific on the problems you are having so we can offer assistance on testing procedures.
