35' 653 Polarizing the regulator

If you have a cutout that has two terminal lugs you may use the lug that says 'GEN' or 'STX'. You will not accomplish your mission if you touch the hot lead on the 'BAT' because the points should be open in the cutout and the current will not reach the generator. All that is needed is one quick touch a small spark a split second is all that is needed. If you have a cutout with a single lug, remove the cutout from the generator, tip it on it's side and touch the wire to the center nut where the gen wire is connected.

Thanks for the clarification Curt. I find the armature wire connected to the cutout, do I leave it connected for this procedure, and is this done while the car is running or not?
Thanks for the input.

1934-1936 Auburns both 6 & 8 came with a Auto-Lite cutout mounted on the generator. There is no voltage regulator.
You may want to polarize the generator. That is accomplished by connecting a jumper wire from the battery negative to the generator armature wire. It is the only wire exiting from the generator so it is easy to locate. The correct generator for all 34-36 Auburn is Auto-Lite GAR 4603

Hello, I'm looking for any information about how to correctly check the polarization of my regulator and how to re-polarize it if necessary.
Thanks!
