Rather than the regulator I'd suspect poor connectivity somewhere.
When it runs, what voltage do you have? Measure for instance on the battery poles when the engine idles. See what happens if you make more revs. If it goes above, say, 7.5V it could be the regulator (either busted or not connected properly), but if it stays below 7V I think the regulator is fine.
What does the workshop manual say on how to diagnose the problem?
