charging problems...

Svenn,

Sounds like something in the circuit is Positive earthed (assuming you have negative earth system). Have a look at each circuit for each instrument and lights including coil. Begin with the battery to starter - starter will work the same whether it is hooked up positive or negative and most of the other systems will work either way so you can only tell easily by checking the hook-up for each item.

Really basic thing to check is the ammeter hooked up the right way and not showing discharge when it is really charging. Check this by putting on the lights and if it shows charge it is hooked up backwards.

Is the voltage regulator all wired correctly?

Something in your system is tripping the generator, it is highly unlikely it will be doing this itself.
