Default Re: Generator wiring

Snyder's has a good diagram of the wiring and all the parts of the generator in the catalog if you happen to have one. The generator needs to turn the same way the motor turns which is clockwise if looking from the front of the car. Did you polarize the generator? You will need to do this before it will charge. With the lights on at idle the ammeter should show a discharge, when you come off idle and start to increase the rpm's your ammeter hand should come on over to 0 or a slight charge.
