I'm guessing your ammeter is a little off.

With the master switch off, I'm guessing the position of the needle is the true zero, which looks like the right side of the indicator needle.

If you have the lights on without the engine running, the needle should be more negative.

Just after starting it, the needle sholuld be somewhat positive for a little bit, and then drift back towards "0"

If the ammeter reacts this way, I'm guessing it's OK, just that the indicator is a little off. And, If you don't like the way the gauge looks, replace the gauge.

If it doesn't react this way, then the gauge maybe bad, and therefore replace the gauge.
