6.52 V at the battery and the motor spins freely just like it did before the regulator replacement. Just wont start. not even a pop.

No start you say? Does the engine turn over? If so, does it turn over as it normally did? What is the voltage at the battery?

It is possible that the cutout switch within the regulator is staying closed when the engine is tuned off. This condition could drain the battery overnight. I had previously purchased a new regulator, with a blue cover, that exhibited this condition. You can either open up the regulator to adjust the cutout points so the regulator functions properly or take it along with your generator to a specialist to correct the problem.

Stock 6V system. I followed the instructions on polarization as well. Took pics before so I know its hooked up right. Is there a main fuse/relay that I can check? Guess its a good thing it didnt start this morning, it was such a nice day I might not have come back home in time to finish Thanksgiving dinner!
