On another note, the wiring heats up quick when wired to the regulator per the schematic, bypassing the safety switch and not lighting.... I'm running it on the bench before I make the transplant to the tractor. Specifically the wire coming off the battery side of the starter solenoid to the ignition switch (also bypassing the amp meter). If I eliminate the white wire from the regulator to the key switch, it fires up and runs good, however now the generator is not putting out. The regulator is brand spanking new. If I wire it per the schematic, there is function of the key switch and as stated before the wire from the key to the starter solenoid gets hot and will burn if I don't disconnect it..wish I could figure out how to add the drawing to this thread..

Are you using an original VR? Or is it aftermarket? Many of the aftermarket VR's have the wires oriented differently from the original. Look for the stamping on the tabs to make sure it is wired correctly
