Initial settings after a carb rebuild are 7/8 turn open for the idle mix screw (small screw), and 1 3/8 turn open for the power screw (big screw). The idle mix needs set when the engine is running at 400-500 rpms, otherwise it will have no effect. Your generator will put out full power if you ground (should be positive ground system) the F "field" terminal on the generator to ground, or the pos. terminal on the battery, with the engine running ~ 1/2 throttle. That basically bypasses the effect of the voltage regulator. If you do that, your amp gauge should increase to ~15 amps or so within a few seconds. If it don't, your generator, or amp gauge is bad. Check the voltage across the battery when you do that, it should read ~7 volts. Often, charging problems are due to a faulty, or poorly grounded voltage regulator, and not the generator. George
