It blows the safety fuse.
So basically it’s trying to motor the generator while everything is off.
Now if I attach the cutout without the 2 little screws on the generator body
It all works.
All I can think of is something off the harness from the coil and starter side is
Has power when it touches the batt connection on the cutout top.
you need a nylon or non-conducting washer between the cutout and two yellow wires.should not touch cutout.
