Re: Generator polarity??

So I put my system back to positive (+) ground. Still no go, but now my gen. makes a whirring sound like a supercharger when the engine is running, and still no output. None of the points in the regulator move at all, so I know it must be fried, but when I ground the field terminal I still get no charge... I polarized it by jumping the battery negative (-) to Arm. terminal on the gen. I tested continuity of the wiring to verify thats not the problem, and here's what I found: Field terminal has continuity with field, arm, and ground. This seems wrong, is this caused by the voltage regulator not functioning?
