Ammeter shows discharge but not charge

I understand that if the cutout has the voltage regulator in it, that polarizing the generator in the normal manner will blow the VR. Toms VR is installed in the generator and does not exhibit this problem. Not sure of any of this, but that's what I think. please verify with those that know. Jack

I believe Tom has said in the past, to not run the diode cutout with his EVR. You are supposed to use the original points cutout.

You can use a diode cutout with my EVR, but you need to cut the short wire so the EVR puts out about .7 more volts to make up for the voltage drop across the diode cutout. Polarizing with my EVR is the same for a stock generator. Jump across the cutout terminals for one second, and you're done.
