[AT] polarizing gen/reg

[Dean Vinson]

Hi Lew.   I remember it by saying you "jump from A to B."  That is, from the
A terminal on the generator to the BAT terminal on the regulator.  Just a
momentary touch, enough to draw a spark or two.

Hope that helps.  Diagnosing electrical system issues always seems
mysterious to me at first, but eventually it all makes sense.  I've gotten
help on that subject from this list a few times!

Hey guys
 
I replaced the generator & regulator on my 4000 a coupla years ago; today
the charge light stays on but if I turn the ignition switch off with it
running the light goes off.  Figured the first thing to try is polarizing it
again but forget how to do it?  IIRC I shorted 2 terminals with the engine
not running but that's all I remember.  It has a Lucas generator &
regulator.  Can someone tell me how to polarize it?
