Check that is is wired correctly!!!!!!!!!
So many times we get questions and it turns out that someone didn't pay attention to the wiring LABELING on the regulator terminals, they just went by the LOCATiON of the terminals.

The charge adjustment is done at the factory in a controlled environment of humidity as well temperature, under a specified load
It is not advisable to put a "golden screwdriver" in the regulator to "adjust it"
as it is set properly at the factory.
Back in the 60's we were cautioned by Delco Remy not to adjust them.
Now there were some regulators that were adjustable, they even had an external knob on the top of the regulator to adjust for special conditions like say an ice cream truck that idled a lot with some added amp draw of constant braking and sound systems.
