gennie wiring
I've looked through my manuals and I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly so I don't blow fuses left right and center (which is literal
coz I only have 3 fuses in my oval!) On my generator, I have 2 main terminals - D+ and DF.
Is D+ substituted for terminal B+?
Is DF substituted for terminal 61?
Is the terminal in the background a makeshift ground? (redundant?)
How many amps rating should the B+ wire be? 20A+?
so, do I need to connect those two terminals (D+ and DF) to the regulator (B+ and 61 respectively) and run the wiring (that goes to the starter etc)
from the terminals off the regulator?
There's also a terminal labeled F on the left side of the regulator, my wiring diagram doesn't mention it.. leave it alone?
The low voltage wire coming from the dizzy - goes to the + terminal on the coil?
sorry for the blitzkreig of Q's.. hope someone can help me out - the oval's nearly on the road! I need to get it to the Herbie Drive-In cruise!

Terminal 61 to light in speedo
Terminal 51 to starter motor (which goes to battery)
A small wire from gennie goes to F (field) your DF
A thicker wire comes from the positive brush of gennie
(your D+)and goes to + on the regulator, see the screw
under the reg (next to your 61 in the pic)
This is connected to the 61 through a fusible link.
No! dizzie wire to neg on coil

I'm still confused...
here's a pic of the regulator I'll be using now. I presume that I'll connect DF on the regulator to DF on the generator. Likewise, D+ on the reg
will connect to D+ on the gennie, correct?
So in this case, does D+ go to the warning bulb in the speedo?
Will the battery/starter wire connect to B+ on the regulator?(the spade terminals are the wide ones)
Do I have an F terminal now? (and which terminal does that come from on the gennie?)
sorry for my lack of sparky knowledge!

Correct, the D+ you have marked in the top right of your pic is 61

Correct

DF=F (which you have already connected- first line of your post)

Hey Old Dubber, just out of interest, why is the DF terminal on the gennie the wide one when it just leads to the warning light? I thought the wide
one would be handling the high current load ie: it should lead to the starter/battery (B+)
??

In your first pic, the D+ looks like the wide one to me!
Notice the slots either side!

sorry Old Dubber, I meant D+! The D+ is the wide one, and it goes to the warning light? Logically, shouldn't the DF go to the warning light?
dur! i feel so dumb!

No! if its from the gennie, it goes to the regulator!

the D+ you have marked in the top right of your pic (of the underside of the regulator) is 61. This terminal 61 goes to light in speedo

I run another earth wire to the screw on the Generator/alternator to the body....
Make sure there is a braided cable connecting the chassis to the body next to the body....
This is the main earth for the starter motor.....
clean all the terminals so they are nice & shiney...
