Did you polarize the regulator/generator after removing and disassembling them?

How to Polarize 6 Volt Regulators Find your vehicle’s or machine’s volt regulator. It’s usually square, with five or six terminal screws on the side. If your regulator has five terminals, locate the terminal marked “A” on the regulator.
Connect your jumper wire to the battery terminal with a clip. You might also wonder how to polarize a 6v positive ground generator. Attach one clip to the A terminal of the generator to polarize a generator on a tractor with a Delco 6V positive ground system, a Lucas 6V or 12V positive ground system.
Tap the negative (-) terminal on the battery for a split second (or a spark occurs) in the other clip. Second, how do I put a 6 volt generator to the test? How to Test a 6-Volt Generator Turn on your car’s battery. It’s the simplest way to see if your 6-volt generator produces the correct voltage.
The 6-volt generator should be turned on in your car. To measure voltage, turn the dial on your multimeter. Place the metal rods on the battery terminals’ ends on the two wires from the meter. How do you polarize a Chevy generator in this context?
How to Polarize a 12-Volt Generator Remove the fan belt from your vehicle or machine before the generator starts. You may be able to remove it by hand; if not, use a socket set to loosen the sway bar arm. Connect the jumper wire to the generator’s armature terminal. Connect the positive terminal on the battery to the other end of the jumper wire.
Why is it necessary to polarize a generator? Polarizing is performed to ensure that the Generator and Regulator are operating and charging at the same time. Simply put, working together rather than against one another to ensure that the vehicle’s electrical system keeps you running. Both are negative and positive, but they both do the same thing."
