Re: 1937 120C Current Draw

I can assure you that yes, the ground line needs to be run back from the generator to the body of the regulator and it does attach to the mounting screw that holds the regulator to the body/frame. This assures a solid ground for the regulator to work
You cannot get a short or current draw from attaching a ground to ground. Somewhere else it the circuit you are getting a hot to ground, this is the only way to have current. I guess the only way to find the culprit is to unhook all other circuit's hot lines and start reattaching them until you see a spike in the voltmeter, that will be the source of the short/closed circuit.
