I had a starter on an 831 body twist just like that due to the starter cutout circuit not working. Starter got spun so fast the commuter flew apart and tore up the inside of the starter and twisting the starter body out of alignment.
Might be what happened to your starter too.
The stator resistances are really low. 0.3731 ohms to 0.5047 ohms per winding.
Any sort of poor contact due to corrosion, oxidation is going to cause your meter to display flakey readings. You need to make sure you have clean, solid connections from your meters probes to the stator leads.
Most...
When doing the resistance reading across 5 & GND and then 6 & GND both leads must be removed from the VR. Once removed then measure from lead 5 & GND and then lead 6 & GND.
When testing the stator output pairs all the leads should be removed from TB3 first.
A bit of an oddity...
In your picture R14 is marked as a 50 ohm resistor. Multiple versions of the TM that I've checked indicate it's a 40 ohm resistor. Seems either would work fine in this application.
To get a replacement 50 ohm version that fits right in is available here ---> 50 Resistor
R14 would have nothing to do with your batteries being drained. R14 is just a current limiting resistor in the field flashing circuit.
I can look tomorrow for a replacement source.
Based on those readings it would appear that R14 is defective.
Do a couple of other tests before we condemn R14.
With the set OFF and Dead Crank in OFF do the following.
1) Remove the wires from the AC Voltage Regulator terminals 1 & 3. Label if needed so they don't get mixed up.
2) Measure...
OK now take the following DC voltage measurements.
Hook you meters negative lead to the ground stud above the relays on the back wall.
With the set running check for the following voltages and reply what you measure for each test.
1) Measure the DC voltage at R14 terminal 1 with S1 held in the...
OP had posted " runs like a top everything checks out on gauges except the battery charger gauge shows running on discharge side while running "
I assume when they said "everything" it included the AC Voltage gauge.
Have you downloaded the -24 TM? It has a test procedure for the AC voltage regulator in it.
The set was built with one two voltage regulator systems. TRC or Libby. Be sure to use the correct test procedure in the TM.
