It might help if you post a pic of the reg rec so we can see how it's wired up
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

there  should be a screw in the regulator that can adjust the charging voltage.

If its the original mechanical reg you need to take the cover off to get at the adjusting screw BUT its probably just the floating points sticking. If its an electronic reg sorry you did something wrong and its probably fubared (same as fcucked but politer)

Check your voltmeter, I've seen a similar post recently and it turned out to be the meter. You can either check it on a known voltage (like a battery that's not in circuit) or use another meter. Hope you find your gremlin!
