Sounds like you have a fun projects regulator on it. Your ammeter center may not be truly zero amps. With engine shut off look for zero on the gauge. Here is how mine is set up: turn lights on low beam with engine at maybe 1200 RPM, adjust 3rd brush to just a titch on the + side of zero. At high beam it will discharge at about 2 amps or less, at low beam it will maintain.
