Here is a post from 2006 by Harmut which may be what you are looking for...
Steven I just helped out an owner of a Cessna to flash the Generator. His went to refusal of work despite being overhauled a while ago. He even had a new regulator. We followed the outlined instruction and fired up his engine. It just worked. His generator came to life. Since I never experienced this kind of trouble with a generator, I was amazed by the simple fix. Maybe you are as lucky as my fellow Cessna pilot.

If needed, I can send you the full PDF file. ______________________________________________________________________________ _______ TROUBLE-SHOOTING TYPE A 12 TO 50 AMP DELCO-REMY SINGLE ENGINEGENERATOR SYSTEMS By: Femi G. Ibitayo CHECKING THE RESIDUAL VOLTAGE AND POLARITY OF THE GENERATOR Connect a voltmeter between the generator's ARM and ground. At 1300 RPM, the generator output or residual voltage should be positive (greater than +1.6V). Residual Voltage __________V @ __________RPM A negative voltage reading indicates a generator that has a reverse polarity. Do not connect the GCU to a generator with reversed polarity. Turn off the engine and Polarize the generator by flashing the field. HOW TO FLASH THE GENERATOR'S FIELD: 1. With the engine off, disconnect the Generator Controller (GCU) / Regulator 2. Ground the Field wire removed from the GCU and turn on the GEN FLD switch At the GCU: Touch the battery wire to the generator's armature wire 5 times for 3-5 seconds. Caution: Take safety precaution to prevent being hurt by electrical sparks generated by touching the two wires. 3. Connect a voltmeter between the generator's ARM and ground. At 1300 RPM, the generator output or residual voltage should be >+1.6V. ( this must be 14 - 16 volts ?)
