Do an ohm check between the stator leads, if you don't have continuity between each lead to all others or if one lead has a significantly different resistance then the stator is shot too. Probably when the regulator went up. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Which fixed it, sort of. It doesn't charge at idle but does get some increase with reving, some being half a volt ish.
