briefly connect the generator armature to the battery hot terminal. In most cases the easiest way to do this is, using a short jumper wire, touch one end to the Batt and the other end to the Gen terminals on your V/R. As soon as contact has been made you should see a spark and the process is finished.

Correct me if I have misread this, but doesn't the gen armature get connected to the battery + terminal EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START? A schematic for the charging / starting system suggests it has to.
The only thing that can change the polarity of the output in this style gen is to change the DIRECTION the wires are wound in the field coil.
