You don't mention the model. The charging circuit is simple, two or three wires from alternator to regulator and a pos from regulator to fuse then battery and a neg from regulator to battery earth. You must get full battery power on both earth wire and pos wire at regulator, any resistance and the reg will not charge the battery. I always test this with an incandescent test lamp, (after once changing a stator and finding no improvement, I had tested battery wires with a voltmeter, and was getting volts, but there was no power getting through them due to corrosion inside the wire).
