I might not have stated my condition clearly. I would expect to see a fairly high charge rate when the generator initially comes on line. It has to restore the charge depleted from starting, the charge lost while the plane was sitting, etc. This would then rapidly taper off as the battery came up to full charge. I have never seen this.
In addition, at night when I turn on my landing light with everything else on, the ammeter is just a hair on the minus side. This looks to me that the regulator, while functioning, is indeed limiting the current as if I had a 10 amp generator, rather than the 35 amp. A mention was made of installing an alternator via a 337 that's around. That would be the cat's meow! I imagine though that an alternator would go for a fortune.
