[36 flathead]

remove field wire from regulator and touch it on battery wire at regulator momentarily.

If it is a stock 3 brush with a cutout on top you just jump both sides of the cutout with a wire

If it is a 2 brush with separate regulator 36 flathead method works

If it is modified from stock you may need to post pictures
