Default Voltage Overcharging Issue

Hi Yall,
I'm working on an issue in my 1941 Super Deluxe. Its a 6V positive ground and the battery is Overcharging to 8.3V+. I opened the voltage regulator and it looked sort of burnt and was not adjustable, So I opted to get a new one.
The generator is also the 2brush non adjustable one.
I got the blue cover one (part #51A-10505) and installed it today, but I am having the same overcharging issue. The regulator is very very hot while running and still charging the battery to well over 8V
I tried turning out the screw on the bottom of the FLD relay, but no change.
I can push on the plate and disconnect the relay and the voltage goes down, so I dont think its stuck, but i'm stumped
I followed the instructions the reg came with to polarize the reg by touching the FLD to the BAT briefly and saw a small spark

Not sure where to go from here.
